Extremely doubtful to have occurred in the past 10 years. It's pretty much impossible to access anything on the graph without a business reason and managerial approval.

WTF? I thought that on 2010 already people were diligent enough to avoid even sending the password and instead just hashed it locally before even sending it.
I was at a party once with Facebook employees and they were telling stories about how they would spy on who visited who's profiles. They thought it was so funny, they could "tell" who had a crush on who. I deleted my account as soon as I got home. Vile company.
Wouldn't surprise me. Everyone clutches their pearls and hits the downvote button as soon as you mention the Zucc quote, but has there really been any evidence that the company culture has matured away from "They Trust Me - Dumb fucks"?
Absolutely not. I'm no friend of Zucc, but the graph is protected by a permission system that won't show almost anything for employees without a making a request including legitimate business reason, for a limited time and scope, and managerial approval.
It was more than one person and yes, it's vile that they had access to this information and a culture of spying (and joking about it). They also said they could tell how long someone was looking at each image. The whole company is basically perverted spyware, which absolutely makes sense if you know how and why it was conceived.

0 trust in that company, 0 trust in its employees.
But the point is: Facebook attracts these employees, it doesn’t breed them.
