yup due to a friend that puts way to much value in posters opinions here vs using logic and his own mind. People are jumping the bandwaggon of facebook hate on something that isn't verified based on reports that make a lot more sense that its old wall to wall posts and not personal messages. The lack of any real evidence including from those posting here that can confirm yet cant show screen shots of this is just more cause of concern this is just bandwaggon hopping. I have no love for facebook. None at all. But I am not going to go nuts over something that isn't proven in the slightest.
And yet not one person has posted any evidence. Not one screen shoot. Which has been asked by a few people already. Show me the screen shots. Show me the screen shots.
Oh its false and not real, did that even occur to you or is your hate of facebook so intense that this possibility that users could be mistaken is just not possible. You know the very same people who gladly give up a ton of personal information on line to any one in the first place and stupidly trust corporations with personal information. I mean really is it impossible that these very same users could be mistaken with regards to old wall to wall posts?
If it is indeed verified I would be the first one to jump on the bandwaggon and delete the account and tell others to do so. But so far I have not seen anything to verify it and more reports on Facebook claims that it is indeed old user to user wall posts (something I remember and used in the past personally) just showing up from people now liking them which at the time they didn't have a like button.
"TechCrunch has investigated more, and we have found no evidence that the allegedly exposed posts were actually private messages. Their email receipts show they were in fact wall posts, and the posts do not appear in users’ Facebook Messages inbox.
Facebook also says in no uncertain terms that there is absolutely no privacy bug. What people are seeing are old Wall postings, not private messages. A spokesperson tells TechCrunch:
“Every report we’ve seen, we’ve gone back and checked. We haven’t seen one report that’s been confirmed [of a private message being exposed]. A lot of the confusion is because before 2009 there were no likes and no comments on wall posts. People went back and forth with wall posts instead of having a conversation [in the comments of single wall post.]
A small number of users raised concerns after what they mistakenly believed to be private messages appeared on their Timeline. Our engineers investigated these reports and found that the messages were older wall posts that had always been visible on the users’ profile pages. Facebook is satisfied that there has been no breach of user privacy.”"
This is why real reporters actually check into news stories first before publishing. I have yet to find a single shred of evidence anywhere that shows this has been verified and repeated. And I've been looking pretty hard for the last 30 minutes.
Can at least one person making these claims actually show any real proof about this? Just one person. I mean if its such a major flaw and verifiable I would expect at least one screen shoot showing this to be the case.
