Facebook says 100 software developers may have improperly accessed user data

The company says that as many as 100 app developers could have accessed the user data, which included names and profile pictures, through a programming interface for Facebook groups.

It was not immediately clear how many Facebook users or group members may have been affected by the issue. Facebook declined to share a numerical estimate with CNN. Asked whether the 11 developers could face punitive consequences, Facebook told CNN, "The issue isn't with developers doing anything wrong; it's with Facebook permitting access for longer than should have happened."

And...this is surprising?

and society, again, won’t care, because we’ve grown up in a culture where we are ok with being spied on and having our personal data leaked.

Honestly I feel like that number is probably low.
