Facebook Is Investigating a Claim That an Employee Used His Position To Stalk Women (vice.com)
Facebook is investigating a claim that an employee potentially used access granted by their job to stalk women online, the social media giant confirmed in a statement to Motherboard on Monday. From the report: "Although we can't comment on any individual personnel matters, we are aware of the situation and investigating," a Facebook spokesperson wrote in an email. The claim came from Jackie Stokes, founder of Spyglass Security, in a tweet posted Monday. "I've been made aware that a security engineer currently employed at Facebook is likely using privileged access to stalk women online. I have Tinder logs. What should I do with this information?" Stokes' tweet read. In a follow-up tweet, Stokes wrote multiple senior Facebook employees had reached out over the claim. Stokes told Motherboard in a Twitter direct message that she provided the relevant details to Alex Stamos, Facebook's chief security officer.
They caught him
also contact the FBI if across state lines, your state police if inside the side
The only thing that would surprise me here to find out is if this person was actually one of them and not just their scapegoat.
I did not use my position to stalk women! One turned out to be a really effeminate man. ;)
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
I'm shocked - shocked to find that stalking is going on there.
If this hasn't happened multiple times at Facebook I would be surprised.
The NSA had this kind of goings on back in the Bush years. Nothing new.
There's no WAY it's "an" employee.

Hey, this is the court of public opinion.. Normal rules of evidence don't apply here..
Hearsay of hearsay is admissible here! Forget protecting the accused's rights.

Let's be realistic - most likely the so called "stalking" is someone reading someone's profile info who they're to timid to even talk to in person.
Only one employee does this?
Most of the users on Facebook use it to stalk other people.
What the employees name Mark Zuckerberg?
I thought that was the entire point of FB.
"Facebook is investigating a claim that an employee potentially used access granted by their job to stalk women online, the social media giant confirmed ..."
"Facebook is investigating" "confirmed": Facebook confirms that it investigates - fact.
" a claim that an employee potentially used access granted by their job to stalk women online": Claim - not fact.
So no we aren't. But now it gets _more_ complicated!
_We_ don't have to agree with things posted here.
_We_ don't have to believe what the blurb says.
_We_ don't have to believe the claim.
_We_ don't have to believe Facebook.
And as why this is on /. - well people here like stories about how Facebook abuses their position or in this case _potentially_ abuses their position.
This got long but only as you obviously need this explained as simple as possible.
Not sure if troll or mentally disturbed creep...

Nice to see that this assassination is getting creative.
Requiem for the American Dream
Come on now, we all know stalking happens from the inside all the time, and FB shares their data with three-letter agencies that do the same.
Facebook is just trying to do virtue signalling, by suggesting said stalking behavior is exceptional and will not be tolerated; they have had really bad press lately and they desperately need to counter-balance it.
