Facebook reveals users’ personal messages on public timeline
Facebook users in America and France reported seeing their private messages posted publicly Monday as part of the Timeline feature, making them visible to anyone.
According to Slate, the issue was first reported in France, where the newspaper Le Monde called it “A Dark Day For Facebook.”
Messages that were once private communications began showing up in users’ 2011 and earlier timelines, which are posted as wall messages “posted by friends.” Users can take them out of public view by clicking on the Edit option and selecting “Hide from Timeline.”
