> Data from millions of Facebook users who used a popular personality app

Aka idiots knowingly gave their data away.

Look, I love some Facebook-bashing article just like everyone else but this isn’t Facebook’s fault, I actually support them in this case.

It’s not their fault if the user is stupid and allows a shady bad guy access to their data, just like it’s not the bank’s fault if someone decides to give their wallet to a bad guy and he runs away with their cash.
