Facebook has admitted a bug made private posts visible to the whole
internet.

‘We recently discovered a technical error between 18 and 27 May that
automatically suggested a public audience when you were creating posts.

‘We apologise for this mistake. The problem has been fixed and we’ve
changed the audience any posts you made to what you had been using before, just
in case.
“我们为这一失误向您道歉。该问题已被解决，只是以防万一，我们把您账户所有帖子的查阅权限更改为您之前的设定。
‘You can go to your activity log to review the posts you made during this
time.’

The bug is believed to have occurred while Facebook was testing a new
feature.

over ‘obscene memes’ posted to a private Facebook group.

pictures and jokes that mocked sexual assault, ethnic minorities and the
