What's the cost again? I'm still experiencing cognitive dissonance over the fact that this is news here on HN. What Facebook was doing was common knowledge (for the last 8 years?). I assumed all those spammy facebook apps, like candy crush, had access to the entire social graph of facebook (not just US) or at least built it up over time. All those stupid "Log in with Facebook" apps almost always asked for your friend information.
- asadotzler 9y agoDid you also assume they were exfiltrating that data and selling/giving it to third parties? I didn't.
- macspoofing 9y agoWhose 'they'? And after all those sketchy apps asking for your friends list all these years? Yeah. Yeah I did.
