You Poked Who?! Facebook Employees Are Watching Your Every Move
Valleywag is reporting on unethical behavior of Facebook staff at their headquarters who seem to be abusing their positions by accessing the personal content on the sites and tracking user activity. Valleywag sats:
What happens when you put twentysomethings in charge of a company with vast amounts of private information… Valleywag kept hearing reports that Facebook employees had violated their users’ privacy in a number of ways. The claimed abuses varied: Looking at restricted profiles to check out dates. Seeing which profiles a user had viewed. And, in one case, allegedly logging onto a user’s account, changing her profile picture to a graphic image, and sending faked messages.
