the story from onion? well the fact remains... facebook keeps on playing with user's privacy settings. there have been instances where the privacy settings were not properly followed because of the bugs in their system. other times, after a change in their policies, they simply removed some privacy settings. the user had to research to find out what had actualy changed. that's why the onion mocked facebook by showcasing it as a prankster which makes fun of users who are trying to make their profiles more restrictive. knowing that it would not work perfectly no matter how much effort the user makes.
