People are all talking about Zuck's sister, but the major issue here, as I see it, is that private family photos of Mark Zuckerberg himself are spreading across the web because of Facebook's privacy shortcomings.
Honestly, it just shows that internet privacy, far from being just a "really hard problem" is essentially impossible. I'd prefer it if Facebook just dumped the pretense and made everything public from now on. At least then nobody would get the false sense of security and be fooled into thinking they can control who sees what they post online. It's all public, guys. Even Mark Zuckerberg's private family Christmas photos.
- zem 14y agoit's not a really hard problem in general; it's a really hard problem when layered atop facebook's constant attempts to subvert it. from a technical perspective it would not have been hard to add a "only these people can see it, and no one can reshare it" setting, which would need people actually copying the image and making a deliberate effort to violate (a very different thing from a psychological perspective).
