Don't really want to defend Facebook, but the amount of cynicism and bad faith here is too much. This article should be welcome, it gives us more information on what happened. It clarifies that this was not some sort of database leak (which is much more damaging), but a API abuse that allowed bad actors to figure out people's phone numbers. Overall article brings transparency to the situation, which is good.
- 3grdlurker 6y agoGood for what purpose exactly? They’re not really taking accountability so where is the good that you’re talking about?
- runeks 6y agoI would have preferred if this were a database leak. At least that would have shown some effort towards protecting user data. The fact that it was acquired through a public-facing API makes it much worse, in my opinion, as it shows Facebook isn’t that concerned about protecting sensitive data.
