Another day, another Facebook privacy scandal
From Mashable: Bulgarian blogger Bogomil Shopov that he had purchased a spreadsheet containing 1.1 million Facebook
user IDs and email addresses for $5. The data was allegedly scraped by
third-party applications and offered for sale on a website called
Gigbucks by a user named “mertem.” Shopov verified that the emails did
correspond to the Facebook user IDs, most of them private. He had even
identified people he knew in the list. The next day, he was contacted by Facebook’s Platform Policy Team.
