A new website has been reported to have taken out embarrassing and potentially incriminating status updates from Mark Zuckerberg-led Facebook users who arent using the site8217;s privacy settings and posting them for the whole world to see.
The website,WeKnowWhatYoureDoing.com,who conducted the social experiment has become a nightmare come true for people who havent figured out how to make their profile private.
I hate my boss so mch sic,his so arrogant bloody a8211;, the New York Daily News quoted ltumeleleng S, as saying in a status update seen on the site8217;s homepage.
According to the report,the site pulls in the status updates from Facebook8217;s Graph API,a developer tool,and simply posts them in list format for anyone to see.
Callum Haywood,18,the site8217;s creator,although admitted on his site8217;s 8220;About8221; page that people likely don8217;t want others to see indiscretions on his site,however,he blamed Facebook users for not properly understanding their privacy options.
Haywood explained that his site is meant to be a learning tool,explaining how users can set their privacy settings to limit who can see their profiles.
A disclaimer on the site warns people who have seen their updates on the site that he does not accept any responsibility or liability for any loss or damage of whatever nature from the information on this site.
The posts aren8217;t just limited to people ranting about their bosses,but also include updates about how hungover people are,who8217;s taking drugs and who8217;s got a new phone number.
