Facebook has been engulfed by another privacy scandal after more than 14 million people’s private posts were made public due to a software bug.
Facebook says a software bug made some private posts public for as many as 14 million users over several days in May.
The problem, which Facebook said it has fixed, is the latest privacy scandal for the world’s largest social media company.
It said the bug automatically suggested that users make new posts public, even if they had previously restricted posts to “friends only” or another private setting.
The company is also still recovering from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which a Trump‑affiliated data‑mining firm got access to the personal data of as many as 87 million Facebook users.
