Hello All!

Facebook FIRED 52 employees caught SPYING - book reveals

Zuckerberg's employees allegedly ABUSED their access to the
social network's user data between 2014 and 2015, including
male associates apparently obtaining location information on
women for their own personal gains.

FB engineers were also caught reportedly accessing private
messages from accounts and viewing deleted photographs,
according to a book titled: "An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's
Battle for Domination" by journalists Sheera Frenkel and
Cecilia Kang.

According to one shocking excerpt in the Daily Telegraph, a
male employee accessed the location data of a woman he had gone
on holiday with after she left him following a fight - tracking
her down to her new hotel and confronting her.

At the time, over 16,000 employees had access to private user
data - the authors posing the question how many other staff
could have abused their privilege, but were never caught?

Good advice is one of those insults that ought to be forgiven.
