#5> "We're sorry this happened."
That about sums it up for all these privacy breaches these days. It's getting to the same level of "thoughts and prayers" for tragedies. No actual change or consequences for the problems happening, just empty "sorries" and "promises" that it won't happen again/they'll get it fixed. I don't know if this is a GDPR violation or not (as someone else asked), but if it is, I hope we start actually seeing action of these sorts of things.

#6> The bug also impacted photos that people uploaded to Facebook but chose not to post.
What about, for example, pictures sent in a private message?
I'm so very glad I deleted my account months ago.

Until consumers reveal that they care this is how it will be unless governments regulate/punish.

And as we've seen so far, consumers do not care in the slightest.

#10On this topic, does anyone know if photo access granted to facebook apps on ios means facebook will upload all photos in the background?
Have never seen an analysis of it.
