One more reason to not use Facebook

[sgars]

I had kept my Kauva Facebook free so far. Access FB using safari. Messenger does not work on that. But today i had to check something with the Bachcha log's Martial arts teacher who uses only FB messenger. So, with a heavy heart i installed FB and FB messenger.

Now, i kept the notifications as off for this. But the app keeps popping up the button to allow notifications.

I only use and installed the FB messenger app.. it has some cool face masks for video chatting.. my 5 yr old son has a whale of a time when we video chat with the masks.

FB app takes up too much space.

Facebook confirmed the contents of a video posted to TechCrunch Europe on Wednesday that demonstrated the flaw, and has temporarily disabled its live chat software, but denied that it was a large-scale security problem.

What exactly happened in the video? Facebook's privacy settings offer a feature called "Preview My Profile," which lets you type in the name of someone on your friends list and then see how that person sees your profile in accordance with your privacy settings. But it appears that somehow "Preview My Profile" actually gave the user in question a glimpse from inside the other user's profile, and so it displayed live Facebook Chat conversations and replaced the original user's list of pending friend requests with the user whose "view" was being previewed.
