Hmmm yet again, I am inclined to not believe this. How is it that these bugs always end up invading our privacy, and not the other way round? ("Google/Facebook admits a bug in their system reduced the data they could collect"). Because those bugs are true bugs as far as these companies are concerned, and they're squashed ASAP.
This is like when Facebook had an oopsie about leaving the microphone on, "oh no sorry it was just a bug." Right, when you abused an iOS API to leave your app running all the time, a side effect was that you also recorded all the conversations on the phone. These companies are becoming a cancer on our privacy.

("Google/Facebook admits a bug in their system reduced the data they could collect") Because you and I both know that's not newsworthy and wouldn't make it out from inside the company where it happened?
