Facebook Alerts 14M To Privacy Bug That Changed Status Composer To Public (techcrunch.com)
Facebook has landed itself in yet another self-inflicted privacy debacle. As many as 14 million Facebook users who thought they were posting items that only their friends or smaller groups could see may have been posting that content to the entire world, the company said Thursday. From a report: Facebook's Chief Privacy Officer Erin Egan wrote to TechCrunch in a statement: "We recently found a bug that automatically suggested posting publicly when some people were creating their Facebook posts. We have fixed this issue and starting today we are letting everyone affected know and asking them to review any posts they made during that time. To be clear, this bug did not impact anything people had posted before -- and they could still choose their audience just as they always have. We'd like to apologize for this mistake." The bug was active from May 18th to May 27th, with Facebook able start rolling out a fix on May 22nd. It happened because Facebook was building a 'featured items' option on your profile that highlights photos and other content.
Lord, it just keeps going....and going....and going....

... if you don't have a Facebook account.
My shadow profile posted nothing between May 18th and May 27th.
"thought they were posting items that only their friends"
friendship goal achieved... Hello world.
this is a feature not a bug.
"Facebook Chief Privacy Officer" that's like "Trump Administration Chief Competency Officer".

..that you never hear about 'bugs' that accidentally make people post privately instead of to everyone.
I can only presume it's because their default privacy mode is 'none' and the features that change that setting are the ones that are faulty.
Every other day is a new announcement about how Faceboob has "completely f-ed you over and is really sorry about it". Why is this shitheap of a company allowed to consume nearly every avenue of information?
Not saying this "isn't important", but if Facefoob wants to do mea culpa all-day-every-day — why dont they restrict it to their own massive, data-leaking platform? It's not like they don't have direct access to one. How about, instead of low-key advertisements "reminding you Facefoof exists" — they pin a giant warning on the front page of their site? That way it can inform any remaining oblivious retards still using it and stop jamming every frequency with stupid Facenews about Faceloss.
Please, just be destroyed already.

Funny how Facebook users never "accidentally" get more privacy...
+1 Funny!
What changed before May? When I bothered with Facebook, 90% of my friends posted "Public" with nearly everything they posted,... I'd be surprised it the number of members who bothered to change from "Public" to begin with was a substantial nimber.
See subject. I am a fucking genius because I can run ping on linux not as root
Crazy right, but here I am able to do the impossiable
All you fags can't which is why you should run my incredible APK hosts file engine version 77.839#^#W*+++ now for linux
If you don't or disagree with me you are a fucking ne'er-do-well and I will fucking fuck your fucking face up
in my opinion, FB developers are bottom-of-the-barrel programmers - they don't know how to successfully reverse sort newsfeeds by date -- I keep getting FB alerts that my FB page got another 'like' only to find out that it didn't, but there is now an ad to advertise the page
Aces! Yet another "bug" on Facebook that "accidentally" sets your private details to public!
Better late than never, but when that new 'privacy policy' thing came up it kind of looked like they wanted me to sell my soul to them. I never accepted and don't plan to. I wonder how many other people this scared off. GDPR is great. And FB tried to avoid protecting people's privacy by moving millions of people's data away from Europe (Ireland). That alone is a red flag.

I keep an unusual amount of notes on things. It's a kind of GTD overkill. Anything that visits my mind, I prefer to have nailed down.
To some degree, this spiralled of its own accord: the more I recorded the faster I got; the faster I got, the more I recorded. It also helps to resolve the never-ending Sophie's Choice selection events among my dozens of major cognitive interests: get a bigger shoe & a less bare cupboard, and keep them all.
Then along comes Facebook. One mere Facebook folder no longer carries the day.
And now here's another item for my very narrow (yet non-slim) Facebook/data-sharing_public_spotlight_2018/ auxiliary flood plain.
I'm kind of surprised my explicit folder name actually fit into the Slashdot subject box. Facebook may break this yet. Stay tuned.
