Another Facebook Privacy Breach Today

Another Facebook Privacy Breach Today Update: Special due to the parents over at Facebook. I talked with a couple of people there who seemed into the problem. Turns out that this case was actually not a privacy bug. Rather it more than likely a case of an unintentional “reply all” and some sort of synching fluke, so that a threaded conversation that seemed like a private dialog abruptly appeared in my inbox. My apologies to the Facebook group and thank you once more for trying into it. I guess I’ve turn into somewhat paranoid given the previous privateness breaches which have happened. This May there was a bug that uncovered “personal” chat messages. And Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of Facebook) has acknowledged that they have “made a bunch of errors” on this entrance. Traditional e-mail has been getting this right for fairly a while now. And, I suppose this highlights what number of a long time of growth have gone into one thing that seems “simple” on the floor, however ac tually is fairly complicated when you consider sustaining your inbox (privately), dealing with an incomprehensible volume of spam, scaling to billions and billions of messages, and so forth. I have noticed that increasingly more conversations that would have taken place by way of traditional e mail prior to now are actually as a substitute taking place on Facebook, Linkedin, etc. I’m doing it too. But, with the privacy breaches that have occurred on Facebook, some believe that it is time to revisit that decision and probably sluggish that trend.
