You may have heard about a quiz app built by a university researcher that leaked Facebook data of millions of people in 2014. This was a breach of trust, and I’m sorry we didn’t do more at the time. We’re now taking steps to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

The quiz app used facebooks own APIs to retrieve user information. That’s not a leak. That’s intended functionality.
Exactly. The only problem with this particular - and almost certainly fully authorized - data pull, is that the info was used effectively to a cause hated by the Left.
They do it all the time themselves, Obama was the master of it, but that was never a problem before.
If Facebook hadn’t already alienated conservatives with censorship, they’d be able to find support now. But they did and therefore they are without friends, and that’s a recipe for rapid collapse.
