Those of you on Facebook your 2006 to 2009 private messages are now public on your timeline - GoFuckYourself.com

Shap · 09-28-2012, 01:30 PM

I did a search and didn't see anybody else post on this. I just checked my own account and that was the case. I checked a few of my industry friends and all the same thing public private messages. Just a heads up to get that removed.

Here is a link about it

Quote:

"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."

A spokesman for the social network told ZDNet on Tuesday that Facebook had seen such reports before, in late 2011, and they were false then as well. He added that Facebook's systems treat private messages and wall posts very differently on a technical level, and it is simply not possible for one message type to bleed into the other's stream.

Facebook's spokesman also suggested that people used to carry out personal conversations on their walls through back-and-forth posts, particularly before comments and like buttons were introduced.

Sure they weren't conversations before the whole instant chat feature?

How would you know if your friends posts you were seeing weren't public to begin with?

I looked at mine and saw some that I'm quite confident were private. Looking at others they may not be private but based on the content they sure as hell seem private. Phone numbers etc.

Shap · 09-28-2012, 01:47 PM

If i'm wrong i'm wrong. Definitely worth reviewing. From what i've seen it looks like there is some sort of private exchanges that landed on timeline

Yeah I recall posting phone numbers on facebook alot more often, i believe people were alot more naive and facebook felt alot more private.

Im going through my friends profiles now, nothing looking private. Plus these are people who are computer illiterate and dont check their profiles often so I am confident they haven't removed anything

rowan · 09-28-2012, 02:07 PM

Those articles are dated or refer to an event from several days ago, so if it really was a SNAFU by FB I'm sure it would be fixed by now.

It's probably more a case of FB displaying things that the user could see anyway (IF they went hunting for it), but now it just gets displayed more prominently. Like your news feed showing when your friend comments on something, and what they said... a year ago you would have only seen this if you viewed their wall... and you would have had to click on the link to read the content.

It's not a privacy breach but every little change like this does increase the creepy factor.

ottopottomouse · 09-28-2012, 02:24 PM

a lot of things used to be posted as public when they were comments on a status but most people didn't realize at the time so would post quite private information and mistakenly think it was hidden. timeline has just made them notice it being visible several years too late.

Google and Facebook want to outlaw privacy.

no they are not, you dont know anymore what you wrote those days.

bean-aid · 09-29-2012, 12:19 AM

I always found it silly to update your personal life and comment to all your friends on that site. That's just me though.

Shap, do you have any good ventures going on? I have a really good one and just wondering if you're still looking for a place to invest?

there were a few in my timeline from 2009, the year I joined facebook. This may be the last straw for me and I might take down my personal account

candyflip · 09-29-2012, 07:21 AM

I went through and saw some things that I didn't think were supposed to be public. They were all bunched together in on pane (1 for each year).

I just trashed the pane.

Yep I know what you mean. I know most people say this was fake and not true. But I've seen quite a bit with my own (and some friends) that suggests otherwise.

For a while FB's CDN was taking several months to delete images. The references via FB were deleted immediately, but you could still fetch the image URLs directly.

I know that's not quite what you meant, but it shows that even "consumers" can access data long after it's supposedly deleted.

One of the best known private biometrics databases is maintained by Facebook. Facebook?s face recognition service allows users to find and tag their friends, and due to the high number of photos uploaded to and tagged on Facebook, the service has seen dramatic increases in accuracy over the last several years. Facebook currently has over 845 million monthly active users, and requires each of those users to sign up under their real names. Facebook then makes its users? names and primary photos public by default. The government regularly mines this data to verify citizenship applications, for evidence in criminal cases, and to look for threats to U.S. safety and security.

It is likely the government will try to find a way to take advantage of Facebook?s face recognition service for each of these purposes soon.
