Does a user with a deleted account qualify as an impacted user? I think the visibility is an issue.

As one of those people, this summer I encountered a spotify issue where my spotify would randomly start playing Cannabis Club ATL. Others had the same issue. Perhaps unrelated, too difficult to tell, especially if FB doesn't consider me an active user.

If they still store some user details (which it seems they do) and then this leaks - absolutely.

What about those who have never been users yet Facebook stores plenty of information about?
