Lawmakers want to question Facebook about the privacy of groups

Lawmakers are looking to question Facebook about its privacy practices after allegations that the service revealed sensitive health information in groups.

Facebook has removed the ability to harvest that information, but it has denied that there was ever a security loophole, and has pointed to the option to create less discoverable “secret” groups. However, despite the change, personal information might be still too accessible by people within sensitive groups.
