Facebook said the personal data of most of its 2 billion users has been collected and shared with outsiders; Washington Post, April 4, 2018

Craig Timberg, Tony Romm and Elizabeth Dwoskin, Washington Post; Facebook said the personal data of most of its 2 billion users has been collected and shared with outsiders

"Facebook said Wednesday that most of its 2 billion users likely have had their public profiles scraped by outsiders without the users' explicit permission, dramatically raising the stakes in a privacy controversy that has dogged the company for weeks, spurred investigations in the United States and Europe, and sent the company's stock price tumbling."
