INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Facebook is warning users to check their recent posts and photo uploads after discovering a bug in its composer that set the default privacy
checking every time, you may have inadvertently revealed far more than you intended.The bug affected posts published between May 18 and 27
Facebook is keen to point out that no privacy settings were changed retroactively, so nothing posted before then will have been exposed to
the world without you realizing.Accidental exposureFacebook has now fixed the bug, and changed any posts made during that period to your
usual privacy settings (though that could be a case of shutting the gate after the horse has bolted, depending on how much fun you had in
those 10 days).If there's a chance you might have been affected, you'll see a warning next time you log into Facebook, with an apology and
list of posts you made during that period
Hopefully nothing you wouldn't want your boss, parents or partner to see.In a statement to TechCrunch, the company said it's well aware that
it needs to be more transparent about its privacy settings, and it'll publish more of these alerts when things go pear-shaped
Hopefully that won't be too often.Via Ars Technica
