What does that mean? That’s utter nonsense. I work in an industry where data is just as, if not more, sensitive (health and finance data) and they somehow manage to do this correctly (well, at least not have an embarrassing mistake that makes the Zuck look like the irresponsible unmatured kid he still is). But what they don’t do is willy nilly let people, without human oversight, access data. Who is that dumb? This is criminal negligence in not even guarding against the possibility of misuse.
