What does this double standard teach us about how social media platforms view their users? Under this model the employee whose profile is accessed by security would never know their profile was viewed. Instead the legal department would serve as a check and balance to security misdeeds. However, similar to the NYPD’s model, in all cases where Facebook security accessed a user’s account, but took no action against that account, the user would receive a notification that their account was accessed. Until Facebook starts being more transparent, all we can do is sit quietly and blindly trust it until the next privacy scandal.
