How Facebook Can Out Your Most Personal Secrets
Found on Slashdot on Sunday, 14 October 2012
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Facebook revealed the sexual preferences of users despite those users have chosen 'privacy lock-down' settings on Facebook. The article describes two students who were casualties of a privacy loophole on Facebookâthe fact that anyone can be added to a group by a friend without their approval.
Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes responded with a statement blaming the users: 'Our hearts go out to these young people. Their unfortunate experience reminds us that we must continue our work to empower and educate users about our robust privacy controls.'
Now it may sound harsh, but it's their own fault. Never ever trust Facebook. They want your data. It's their capital; and the past has shown more than enough times that Facebook does not care about privacy at all.
