I didn't sleep well that night.

Finding my friends' old events crossed a moral boundary I honestly didn't expect to encounter.

What makes this all rather chilling...

Over-dramatic much? None of this is secret, or underhanded, or arguably even a violation of privacy. If you don't want your friends to see stuff, don't post it on Facebook. And if you don't want a particular person to see it, including some guy messing around with the API, don't be friends with that person.

It sounds like this guy is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill for the sake of attention, to be honest.



Well, I actually think the guy probably saw a lot of events he wasn't invited to, and/or some other things that made him realize that it was a violation of trust to see those things. I don't think the average hacker would get all choked-up about the principle of the matter quite so easily unless there was something meaty uncovered in his own life or circle of friends.
