- verylittlemeat 9y agoAn analogous example would be if the CA/FB breach had access to private facebook messages or information that was never intended for public consumption. In the CA/FB case the information was either public (and could be scraped as such) or was collected in the form of facebook apps.
- ahakki 9y agoThis is not true. The old Facebook API gave access to all data the user had access to. This included information (posts, photos…) by “friends” which was not public.
