Randi Zuckerberg, the sister of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, has complained that her privacy was breached on the social networking site when one of her photos was taken and shared on Twitter.
Randi posted a picture of her family jokingly reacting to Facebook's new Poke application, and someone Tweeted the picture out to the public..
Incident comes as Facebook has long been accused of taking advantage of user's privacy concerns, so the fact that one of their own family members felt the sting of an open social network comes as a late Christmas present to the company's critics.
In the photo, Randi's younger siblings and parents are seen in what appears to be their family home in Dobbs Ferry, New York.
Mark is standing in the corner- wearing his trademark hoodie sweatshirt and a bit of a smirk- while the other Zuckerbergs looks aghast at their cell phones, presumably mocking the latest update to the social networking application
The new version of 'pokes' allow users to send fleeting messages, pokes, photos and 10-second videos to friends.
The messages expire after a set period of time, from 1 to 10 seconds, and cannot be retrieved by either party again, making it perfect for sending salacious images without leaving a trail.
Randi might have wanted to employ a similar self-destructing device for this photo, since she is now furious that it has been made public.
