Even Facebook employees can look at personal information whether you want it or not
Facebook has created a backdoor to be able to access any Facebook user's personal account without the owner's permission, no matter how strong their password is. There are currently more than 2.2 billion users of this social network and Facebook is holding access to all of those personal account numbers.
According to the Wall Street Journal, a group of Facebook employees have access to any user account without permission from its owner. With a Facebook employee, an internal alert called 'Sauron warning' will be sent if someone accesses their account.
Only Facebook employees receive this message, and of course this does not happen to users. This is another proof that Facebook is being dishonest about user privacy.

Although only a small group of Facebook employees have access to all user accounts and they are closely monitored, many people are still concerned about their abuse of this privilege to learn personal information. user. It can be sensitive information, messages, private images that users only share with friends or relatives.
Facebook security staff also shared with the Journal that employees abusing this authority will be fired, and for many years there have been many unfortunate cases. Most recently, Facebook fired a security engineer who boasted that he could access the personal information of all Facebook users with a woman who was online.
"Sauron warning" has been used for many years. It will be sent to Facebook employees via email or in Facebook's notification section when their accounts are accessed by colleagues. This feature is mainly for testing new features and handling errors.
It is unclear who Facebook employees can log into their accounts, and for valid reasons. But if hackers discover this backdoor, he can gain unauthorized access to the account and take away any user information without them knowing it.
