Well, if a company with as much personal information as Facebook is going to pay people to
1) Delve into specific individuals' profiles,
2) Read enough information to make sure it's the right person, and then
3) Mess about with their settings,
at least they did it with a sense of humour.
Not so funny sequel - seeing "Zuckerberg told everyone in PR that you were easy" appearing on each of his ex-girlfriends' profile pages.
- smanek 17y agoIt sounds like they did it by IP (or 'Facebook Network' membership), not account. But everyone in the TechCrunch network saw it I'm not sure if that means TechCrunch's offices' subnet, or the Facebook network. But either way, no big invasion of privacy.
- jkincaid 17y agoProbably easier just to do it for everyone in the Facebook TechCrunch network, though it's possible that they used IPs.
- JacobAldridge 17y agoThat's a fair point. I guess my initial reaction was 'this is funny, but does that justify the means?'. If it's easy enough to do then the means aren't controversial. Punk on!
