Facebook Source Code Takedown

A few days ago the source code for Facebook’s homepage was published on to an anonymous blog. This story spread around the internet fairly quickly. The source code has come down now thanks to Google as the poster had not removed the code when asked ordered. This is kind of strange from stem to stern. Facebook claimed that this was not a security problem but, their lawyers mounted their black horses and rode out into the night with takedowns in hand.

The code itself has reappeared online soon after the first site came down. As well, the page is still in the Google cache for anyone who might want to see it.
