Facebook fired him from the internship for pointing out a privacy flaw.

I think the privacy flaw was intentional on Facebook's part, for the benefit of certain data-customers.

Maybe I'm missing something here...but when you post something on FaceBook from a smartphone or iPad...it indicates where you are (doesn't do it when you post from a laptop.

I thought everyone knew this.

Is there something else this guy pointed out?

There is no doubt in my mind that the “flaw” was actually a design feature of the software used by the government agency known as Facebook.

Its absolutely intentional. It must be their main selling feature for adverts. I thought it was obvious. I was recently visiting a relative in Atlanta (I'm from NY). I googled recipes for ingredients to a specific Chinese dish. I then started receiving ads for Chinese restaurants in the area I happened to be in.

Privacy is a myth.

Using Facebook IS the privacy flaw. It’s like being your own FBI agent documenting all your activities.
