Well, we're starting to reach ridiculous levels of absurdity now. Pretty sure someone got to E5 with this feature. https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-uploaded-1-5-million-users-email-contacts-without-permission-2019-4
A data company
Seems there is no end to such cool features 😞
Why the *FUCK* would you ask people for their email password? WTF?
Why this company is not getting shut down by the government?
Why were you not shut down?
Govt won't even shutdown companies that kill 40k people per year with opioid OD. And u complain about 1.5m email address leaks...
They used to have this as a feature long ago, to help you find your friends.. but forcing all new users to do it? That’s shady for even Facebook. How do Facebook employees feel about these types of data collection tactics?
Not a fb employee, but I honestly don't care what my employer does as long as its legal. I'd happily trade my job and work for fb if I get a good offer.
I remember you from MSFT. I think you were low-balled at google. There are companies which pay well and at the same time makes the world a better place.
Isn’t this a standard workflow/feature on most social networking sites? LinkedIn does the same thing when you sign up for example
They ask for your email password?
LinkedIn does not get your email password. Check out oauth on Wikipedia
Dude is anybody smart at FB? Must be the easiest of the FAANG interviews.
When will Facebook sell email addresses with all the likes associated with it?
Don’t give them ideas lol
Pretty sure they already did it, it’s not yet publicly accepted
I am flabbergasted. Serious question to Facebook folks-- does Facebook have security reviews, design reviews as part of the development process? Notice that I am not even asking about legal revies for customer facing features which are common at Amazon.
Build fast, break everything.
