Subject: web: Scoop: Facebook employees know what profiles you look at



""My friend got a call from her friend at Facebook, asking why she  
kept looking at his profile," says a privacy-conscious source at a  
major tech company. Turns out Facebook employees can (and do) check  
out anyone's profile. Not only that, but they also see which profiles  
a user has viewed -- a major privacy violation. If you've been  
obsessed with a workmate or classmate, Facebook employees know. If  
Barack Obama's intern has been using the campaign account to troll  
for hotties, Facebook employees know. Within the company, it's  
considered a job perk, and employees check this data for fun."
