Facebook has reported that it has found an error on its social network. This one revealed the possibility of seeing the content of private posts by all users of the community. About 14 million people are affected. Facebook adds, however, that the bug appeared in May and has already been corrected.
Facebook has reckoned with the error. Mark Zuckerberg and the company announced that in May (18-27 May) an error appeared on the site which modified the privacy settings. This was revealed by the visibility of private posts for all users of the service.
Facebook estimated that the error made the private posts of about 14 million users visible. They will be informed of the problem and will be asked to review the entries made between 18 and 27 May. Currently, the problem no longer exists and the error has been corrected. Below you can see an example of a message about an existing bug.

The above problem is nothing compared to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. It was then that about 87 million Facebook users were able to take over their data. As we well remember, Zuckerberg and the company were very hiccups. You also need to take care of the data stored on your computer’s own hard drive.
