One of Britney Spears’ earliest hit is almost comically appropriate here with some modification. Oops, Facebook did it again and, this time, it probably wouldn’t have admitted to it if it weren’t caught red-handed. Apparently, the social networking titan has been asking new users to enter not only their email address but also the password to said email address for the sake of verification. What it did, however, was actually getting the user’s email contacts and uploading them to its own servers without warning them or asking their permission.
This was actually a feature, not a bug. Or at least in the earlier days of Facebook before 2016.
