Reuters:
Facebook Inc on Thursday said that it fired an employee accused of bragging on matchmaking app Tinder about his access to private user information.
And:
A Twitter user earlier on Wednesday posted here about the Tinder conversation along with screenshots, saying Facebook’s security engineer is “likely using privileged access to stalk women online”.
Here’s the link to the Twitter post that first exposed this story.
While it’s good that Facebook took quick action here, I think the underlying issue is that this employee had this level of access, that there are no controls in place to prevent this sort of employee overreach.
If the fired employee had this access, doesn’t it stand to reason that there are other Facebook folks, not bragging about access online, with that same level of access?
