How many times does a company of Facebook's size get to say "oopsie, we're sorry" before you'll stop giving them to benefit of the doubt? I see this as a malicious disregard for the security and privacy of their users, and their history aligns with that view.

That's a valid point of view, of course. The failure is certainly well beneath what one should expect Facebook.

Nonetheless, I stick to incompetence over malice. There's just so much more of the former in the world than the latter!
