"Facebook changed every post by those users during the affected time period to private, including posts that people may have meant to share publicly. The company told CNN it took five days to make those changes." The headline and the article seem to be contradictory. Anyone know if the article is wrong or the headline is wrong? It looks like it just might be that paragraph that got it backwards since there is a direct quote later that talks about posts being automatically suggested as public. |

1. Facebook defaulted a bunch of posts to public, when they should have been something else.
2. Users posted a bunch of things with this unexpected default
3. As one part of fixing the bug, Facebook changed all posts made with the unexpected default to private. They were attempting to undo the damage.
Some of the posts they made private probably were intended to be public, so they made things worse for certain users.
