That's not really what Facebook is saying they did. They accidentally logged passwords to a log file somewhere. They're not saying they stored them in the users database in plain text.

Right, but it has the same end result.

Also, I guess they don't look at their log files? The passwords were there in clear text for 7 years apparently: https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/21/facebook-plaintext-passwor...

Irrelevant. The point was that "we accidentally logged something sensitive" is something any big tech company can (and is likely to) do. Deliberately storing passwords as plaintext in the users table much less so.

> Also, I guess they don't look at their log files?

If they were temporarily logging something for a particular reason, and forgot to turn it off, there'd be no reason to.
