Facebook apologises after some private messages are made public

Facebook has apologised to 14 million users it believes have been affected by a bug which led to their private posts being published publicly inadvertently in some cases.
The problem arose from Facebook’s ‘audience selector’ tool, which enables members to decide whether to publish a post solely for their friends or to engage a wider audience. In general this remains locked to the last enabled setting but from 18 May to 27 May it defaulted to public.
