It sounds like they did it by IP (or 'Facebook Network' membership), not account.

But everyone in the TechCrunch network saw it

I'm not sure if that means TechCrunch's offices' subnet, or the Facebook network. But either way, no big invasion of privacy.

Probably easier just to do it for everyone in the Facebook TechCrunch network, though it's possible that they used IPs.

That's a fair point. I guess my initial reaction was 'this is funny, but does that justify the means?'.

If it's easy enough to do then the means aren't controversial. Punk on!
