Only hundreds? With their active userbase? I know the article said they were told about it by a previous news article several months ago, but like, at some point there's only so much you can do.

I expect Facebook did nothing, which is not only so much you can do, but also I expect that from Facebook. The whole company needs to be split up, and this is just another symptom of that.
