Facebook would change peoples settings on purpose during updates back in 2009. Its the reason I quit the site.
"A Facebook spokesperson said the notification is the start of new proactive and transparent way for the company to handle issues going forward"
Facebook deserves everything they have coming. IMO, They also need to rethink their PR strategy. I would of given them a second chance and tried the site but every excuse is insulting. Wow
- mikestew 8y agoFacebook would change peoples settings on purpose during updates back in 2009. Man, has it been that long? W/o reading the article first, I expected the first comment to be "needs [2010] in the title", because I, too, dropped FB the day I found out that all pictures were now public (and, IIRC, "by design"). I subsequently figured it was an old story about that. But it happened again recently, huh?
- codeflo 8y agoIt happened several times, which makes you wonder. They have all this great engineering talent and a really fantastic test infrastructure, yet somehow never managed to write a unit test that checks if a simple boolean value doesn't toggle during an update. It's quite a mystery.
- arielweisberg 8y agoHeh. That is exactly the incident that had me quit Facebook and stop real sharing on social media.
