Software errors, or has spread to hundreds of thousands of Facebook users
Facebook authorities have warned that personal information of millions of Facebook users has become open to everyone due to software bugs or bugs. This error causes the user to limit his post to specific people, but it also goes to everyone. That is, if someone posts Facebook friends with 'Friends of Friends', his post becomes 'Everywhere'.
Facebook's privacy proxy chief Erin Egan apologized for the error.
Facebook authorities have asked to inform the newsfeeders of those who have problems due to the error.
Egan said, "Recently we found a bug so that users were automatically exposed to everyone when they were posted. The problem has been solved and it is known to all those who have faced this problem. However, this error did not affect the old post on Facebook. You can always post a specific target of the person.
A Facebook spokesman said this error was effective from May 18 to 22. But it takes up to May 27 to fix it.
How to handle this error?
When someone posts a Facebook post, a menu comes up so that the post can be seen to be seen. If someone is selected as 'Public' then everyone can see that post. But if the poster specifies certain individuals or friends, then only specific people can see the post. Due to the error of Facebook, only friends were posting posts, but it was posting 'public'. As a result, the user could not save any privacy on his post.
According to Facebook authorities, due to software error, 14 million people are in trouble. They are now reporting to the users.
Technology analysts say that Facebook has been criticizing the privacy of privacy policy. In particular, this week, there have been major allegations of Facebook users' exchange of information with Chinese smartphone makers against Facebook.
