The sad thing is I think Path responded far better than most others, and they've received a heavy-handed response relative to the abuses of so many others.
They were transparent, admitted their mistake, and corrected it. What's the lesson here? Bury your mistakes and avoid the PR headache and financial penalties?

The investigation was launched due to Path uploading people's entire address book to their servers with out the user's permission.
I have little sympathy that such a casual disregard to customer's privacy would come to bite them in the ass multiple times.
