臉書又遭事兒了!大量私密帖子被公開!
Facebook has admitted a bug made private posts visible to the whole internet.
臉書公司承認其平臺有漏洞使全網可以看到用戶未公開的帖子。Last week, it was revealed that a glitch in Facebook automatically made some posts public – even though users had opted to remain private.
據透露，上週臉書平臺的一個故障自動公開了用戶的部分帖子，儘管用戶選擇了不公開發表。It affected up to 14 million people between May 18 and 27. Facebook has just written to users to warn them of the glitch.
在5月18日至27日該故障影響了1400萬人。臉書公司剛剛寫信給用戶提醒他們這一故障。
‘Please review your posts,’ Facebook wrote in its alert.
“請查看一下你的帖子，”臉書公司在警示中寫道。‘We recently discovered a technical error between 18 and 27 May that automatically suggested a public audience when you were creating posts.
“最近我們發現5月18日至27日平臺上有一個技術故障，當你創建帖子的時候，它會自動顯示公開發表。‘We apologise for this mistake. The problem has been fixed and we’ve changed the audience any posts you made to what you had been using before, just in case.
“我們爲這一失誤向您道歉。該問題已被解決，只是以防萬一，我們把您賬戶所有帖子的查閱權限更改爲您之前的設定。‘You can go to your activity log to review the posts you made during this time.’
“你可以查看你的活動日誌，檢查一下這段時間你發表的帖子。”
The bug is believed to have occurred while Facebook was testing a new feature.
人們認爲這個漏洞是在臉書測試新功能的時候產生的。The bug could ruin the lives of anyone whose private posts suddenly reached a public audience.
對於那些個人帖子突然被公開的用戶而言，該漏洞可能會毀掉他們的生活。Last year, Harvard University rescinded offers for at least 10 students over ‘obscene memes’ posted to a private Facebook group.
去年哈佛大學撤銷了至少10名學生的錄取通知書，因爲他們在臉書的一個私人聊天羣中分享“粗俗的表情包”。In the chat group, the incoming undergraduates sent each other offensive pictures and jokes that mocked sexual assault, ethnic minorities and the Holocaust.
在那個聊天羣中，這些即將入學的大學生互相發送嘲諷性侵犯、少數族裔以及（二戰期間納粹黨對猶太人等進行的）大屠殺的無禮圖片和玩笑。
