Randi Zuckerberg’s Facebook Photo Shows That Anyone Can Be Flummoxed By The Network’s Privacy Settings
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe Zuckerbergs, normal family folk like you or me, did what many did on Christmas Day: Posted an awkward family photo onto Facebook. Except when Randi Zuckerberg does it — and when that photo gets inadvertently shared with the entire Internet — it becomes a lesson in Facebook’s byzantine privacy settings.
Here’s what happened, as first pointed out by Buzzfeed: Randi, sister of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, posted a photo of the clan checking out Facebook’s new app, Poke, which lets users share photos that get automatically deleted shortly after being opened. Callie Schweitzer, a marketing director at Vox Media, saw the picture in her Facebook feed and, thinking it was a public photo, reshared it on Twitter.
