This is because employees are known to have accessed sensitive data by bypassing access control devices, and the same thing happened again even after Meta announced that it had fixed the vulnerability. Regardless of whether Facebook's parent company Meta's data collection methods were appropriate, industry analysts pointed out that the protective measures put in place by Meta were woefully inadequate considering the sensitivity of the data collected.
