And next week, the company says it will provide developers with a tool to determine which users of their apps may have been affected and to assist with the deletion of images that shouldn&#8217;t be there.<\/p>\n<p>It was only a few days after the period of vulnerability, on September 28, that Facebook said a different bug had exposed as many as 90 million Facebook profiles to hackers, a figure it subsequently <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/10\/12\/hack_of_facebook\/\">revised down to 30 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In response to that incident, Guy Rosen, VP of product management, apologized.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>This is getting to be a habit<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The social data biz has apologized so often that its serial contrition came up when CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee in April.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing Zuckerberg at the hearing, Rep.

Facebook in April, shortly after Zuckerberg&#8217;s Congressional testimony, made much of its effort to comply with Europe&#8217;s GDPR privacy regime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As soon as GDPR was finalized, we realized it was an opportunity to invest even more heavily in privacy,&#8221; said Erin Egan, veep and chief privacy officer of policy, and Ashlie Beringer, veep and deputy general counsel in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.fb.com\/news\/2018\/04\/new-privacy-protections\/\">blog post<\/a> at the time. &#8220;We not only want to comply with the law, but also go
