Facebook’s external lawyers warned the Observer it
was making “false and defamatory” allegations, and
reserved Facebook’s legal position.

have or use private
Facebook data.”
“We do not work with Facebook data
and we do not have Facebook data.”

4. Audacity to hide open
secret
5. In conclusion, totally
unprofessional.
So, What is Next?
