Comment on Tell HN: Every photo in Facebook is somewhat publicly accessible

Comments

Equivalent headline:

"Tell HN: Every encrypted message is somewhat publicly accessible*

*if you guess the key/password"

The difference is that keys and passwords are managed in a more careful way (think encrypted key stores), whereas URLs are not handled with the same care.

Apart from that, I agree with you.

Every photo is publicly accessible.

It's just not easily discoverable.

I agree, though, that this is mostly a non issue.
