Meta

The names and profile pictures of users who were a part of certain groups, according to Facebook Inc., were shared privately by users within some groups on its main social network.

Which users shared posts or left comments inside a group could be seen by a programme that enables information sharing between Facebook and outside developers.

Access to the material has reportedly been withdrawn or restricted, according to the organisation.

A recent examination by the corporation revealed that this additional information was also being distributed.
