I hope you're just joking, as I think you are. Obviously that's wrong. And privacy should be respected, bug or no bug.

  > I hope you're just joking, as I think you are. Think again. If it would have been me discovering this (not that I'm nearly smart enough to do so, but hypothetically speaking) I would have definitely used it against FB management. They run roughshod over the rights of their users every chance they get, they really need a wake-up call about why privacy matters and that they ought to be more responsible when it comes to things like this.

    And that would have made you a criminal.

      "Criminal" is a term that only applies if you are caught.

        No, "convicted criminal" is a term that only applies if you are caught.

          No, "convicted criminal" is a term that only applies if you are caught, prosecuted, law enforcement carries out the investigation properly, you're not lucky with the pick of the judge, they have better lawyers than you do, and you don't accept a plea bargain.
          • jrockway 16y ago
            Taking the plea bargain counts as a conviction.

              That's true. I might add that it's also possible to strike a deal where the whole thing is stricken from your record after x years, but we're taking this a bit too far at that point!

      That would have potentially made me a criminal. But sometimes you need to stand up for what you think is right even if there are consequences.
