An interesting point is made here: http://www.shinyshiny.tv/2012/09/facebook-private-message-leak.html http://www.shinyshiny.tv/2012/09/facebook-private-message-le... "... many users who are still adamant the messages they saw were private and claim that Facebook is just trying to cover up its mistake by calling them all crazed liars."
I guess I am in that group, I strongly believe some of the messages I saw were originally private. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to prove this.
- milkshakes 14y agosure there is. it's called email. every time you get a facebook message, you get an email. as late as 2009, those emails included the full content of the message.
- thejosh 14y agoOr you know, not writing shit you don't want out over Facebook, Email, IM, Twitter, HN, Reddit PM..........
- milkshakes 14y agoRight, that will help us confirm or deny this rumor.
- klaut 14y agoyes, but some people clean up their mailboxes. I know I do. Specially with something as spammy as FB email notification back in 2009. I did check my timeline and some messages there DO look like they HAD to be private - no way those kind of information would be posted on my wall. Unfortunately, i do not keep FB emails from 2009 anymore. I guess many can't prove because of this fact - deleted fb notifications from 2009/2008
- milkshakes 14y agoTotally. What's unfathomable to me, however, is that in the age of Gmail, in this ocean full of strident accusations, not a single person has been able to produce something like this. That's all it would take.
- GFischer 14y agoOkay, I just checked, I have over 3.000 archived Facebook emails. I just have to find some private post on my timeline, the corresponding email and write a blog post?
- matthewowen 14y agoIt shouldn't be hard. The email contains the body of the message. So search for the message.
- Calvin099 14y agoDo you have any proof? Have you talked to any users? Seen any screen shots? I haven't seen any of that. However, I have seen people having conversations on posts where it almost seems like the conversation belongs in an email. Also, it is easy to be a troll by copying and pasting a section of the article.
