Facebook has been at the center of a seemingly unending series of data-privacy scandals this year, and just days after the company was exposed for sharing data with 60 major device developers – contradicting testimony that Mark Zuckerberg gave to Congress – Recode is reporting that the company has copped to another colossal blunder: as many as 14 million Facebook users who believed they were posting items that only their friends or smaller groups could access instead may have shared that content publicly.
According to Facebook, a software bug, which was live for 10 days in May, updated the audience for some user’s posts to “public” without any warning. Facebook typically lets users set the audiences who get to see posts; that setting is “sticky,” which means it remains the default setting until manually updated.
Facebook didn’t specify how many of these people actually posted things that were shared more widely than they would’ve liked. It’s also unclear how many people noticed the settings change. The company said Thursday it would begin to alert people who were impacted. As Recode points out: “Obviously this is another public relations and management disaster and it is unclear how widespread the problem is.”
Facebook offered an apology:

Rescuers have recovered 99 bodies of those burned and buried alive – only identifying 28, while nearly 200 are still missing after deadly pyroclastic lava flows and giant clouds of superheated smoke and ash buried entire towns.
A secondary eruption on Tuesday ejected more ash and smoke over 16,000 feet into the air, sending more volcanic material over nearby settlements to the east and northeast.

After months of delays, former IT aides to Congressional Democrats, Imran Awan and his wife Hina Alvi, look like they’re about to slide right out of a D.C. courtroom with a plea deal in their bank fraud case – while a litany of far more serious allegations documented by the Daily Caller’s Luke Rosiak remain unprosecuted.

Who is Q?
I think it may be Trump. Q stopped posting around the time Melania got sick and needed surgery. Trump didn't have time, as he was caring for his wife.
