Facebook had ample warning about privacy problems with “contact import” feature
I have an honest question, hope it is not deemed troll bait.<p>I lurk and read quite a bit here on HN. I think I&#x27;ve come to feel pretty versed in the common anti-social-media gripes and stances, and that Facebook is one of the leading villains there.<p>But I also read that there are some really smart and empowered&#x2F;supported people at Facebook and they make some pretty desirable stuff (things like React, etc).<p>On the one hand I picture a classic clueless business people driven culture driving poor demotivated engineers and so stuff like the latest hack happen.<p>But then, I see this other picture where teams of quite functional teams are doing good engineering.<p>I&#x27;m not used to these things coexisting well, especially for extended periods. Am I being too naive about that? Or perhaps my simplistic impressions listed above are too naive?<p>What&#x27;s the real story? And Facebook insiders here who can add insight?<p>(Edit and disclaimer: I am neither Facebook user or a React programmer)
