The damage is already done though. This update will be seen by fewer people than saw the original story and facebook will face no meaningful consequences for deceiving people yet again. It's no wonder they lie so often; it pays off for them to lie.

Another lie that doesn't even get the signal boost of being in the headline:

> Facebook had also told reporters on January 29th regarding teens’ participation, “All of them with signed parental consent forms.” Yet in its response to Senator Warner, Facebook admitted that “Potential participants were required to confirm that they were over 18 or provide other evidence of parental consent, though the vendors did not require a signed parental consent form for teen users.” In some cases, underage users merely had to check a box to claim they had parental consent, and there was no verification of users’ ages or that their parents actually approved.
