But considering the social network very vocally banned an app that “unfriended” people, citing privacy violation, it may also take issue with services that modify privacy settings. Thanks for bringing up this issue, I just hope Facebook keeps a check on such sensitive issues.

A discussion of guidelines might be worth discussion. For instance – even having obtained the material, journalists still need to identify the owner of the account and provide context, no?
