You could feel sorry for Facebook if it wasn\u2019t for how badly it has handled everything since last week\u2019s Cambridge Analytica scandal hit the headlines<\/strong>. The bad news for the all-seeing social network this week comes in the form of Facebook users posting online years\u2019 worth of contacts and call histories that they\u2019d found when downloading all of the data that Facebook had been gathering on them<\/strong>. The worse news was how Facebook handled it, and you can probably guess how it went about it. Facebook blamed the user.<\/strong><\/p>\n
