It's not your fault that you missed the reporting on it, but FB actually DID respond in 2015. They closed the friends-posts permission way back in 2015. They had plans to do so even before the story broke. What C.A. did hasn't been possible since 2015. They responded appropriately at the time. Of course judging by the anti-FB media frenzy you wouldn't know it.

And it must've been obvious to them throughout how such abuse could be executed. Yet they didn't try very hard at all to prevent it.
