  • The practice is currently automated, workers who wrote the memo revealed

  • The leak comes as the company continues to face scrutiny from privacy regulators over its handling of users' sensitive information

  • Staffers who penned the memo referred to the system as one with 'open borders' - one that doesn't allow for careful management regulators have called for
