Rolling back is a last-ditch effort, it often causes more problems than it would cure. Sure you'd get the pictures back, but everything done in the interrim would be deleted. And if he were a black hat, we'd have never heard about this.

I can't imagine Facebook could roll anything back on their scale. Everything touches so many things, it would be a nightmare to get done.

I'd imagine they'd find the accounts that were responsible for deleting the pictures that weren't theirs (as this hack allowed to have happen) and restore the pictures deleted by those accounts.
