Facebook lets you search for pictures of your female friends, but not your male ones

Facebook lets you search for photos of your female friends, but refuses to play dice if you want to look up pictures of your male friends.

Meer zelfs: bij het opvragen van foto's van je mannelijke vrienden, gaat Facebook er van uit dat je foto's van vrouwen wou gaan bekijken.

Instead of pictures of friends from within your social network, youre instead shown a selection of pictures from across the social network.

Just a few months earlier, he searched for expired domain names on Donald Trumps previous tweets in order to redirect them to a video celebrating his hometown of Aalst.

Speaking to TNW over the phone, De Ceukelaire explained that this incident was no different, and he stumbled upon this quirky little bug merely by chance.

De Ceukelaire runs a site called StalkScan.com, which allows anyone to see what kinds of information their profiles are leaking, thanks to Facebooks advanced Graph Search tools.

Over the past few years, Facebook has quietly scaled back its Graph Search, removing it from public view and making it harder to access.

De Ceukelaire believes the social giant has taken steps to stop it from working, and over the past few months he has faced several temporary service disruptions.

Worse, he said, when he searched for photos of his male friends, Facebook would ask if he meant photos of his female friends.

Facebook continues to adjust and remove functionality from Graph Search as it figures out what to do with this moribund product.
