Facebook Privacy Goes Down The Tubes – Again

Posted by on Apr 28, 2010 | One Comment

Despite Facebook being an amazing place for developers and users alike, sometimes their little “security holes” are so avoidable, it borders on mind blowing.

Take this latest personal security issue where complete strangers, can actually see which events you plan on attending. Obviously for virtual events, this is not a big deal. But when you attend a real event and Facebook in turn, broadcasts it to the world. Well, no good can come of it.

I think that Facebook needs to remember that at one time, MySpace was the flavor of the month. And despite the massive successes that Facebook has seen, they are not bullet proof.

    Facebook is also a joke when it comes to support.
    There is no email address that i can find where i can get real support from.
    This weeks i have a problem where i can not get into my account and in there help section it dont cover my problem.
    So i need to speek to some one about my problem, i have sent a email to some email address like support@facebook.com and info@facebook.com in the hope that one of them will work.
    I did have a automated email that i got when i filled in a form on facebook and it said,
    Our records indicate that there is currently a confirmed account associated with this email address. Please try to log in at http://www.facebook.com with your login email address and password. If you successfully access your account and the matter is resolved, no further action is needed. Please reply to this email only if you continue to experience an issue.

    I have replyed back to that email and then 1 day after i got the same message, so i replyed back again telling them i need to speak to a real person at there support team and not have a automated message being sent to me.
    To i had a reply to my email and it was the same automated message again.

    WTF have you goto do in order to speak to a real person at there support team.
