Facebook on Friday dismissed reports that an Indian-origin Harvard student Aran Khanna's internship was cancelled for pointing out the privacy flaws in the social media's messenger service. "We don't dismiss employees for exposing privacy flaws, but we do take it seriously when someone misuses user data and puts people at risk," Facebook said in a statement. "We began developing improvements to location sharing months ago, based on inputs from people who use Messenger. His (Khanna's) mapping tool scrapped Facebook data in a way that violated our terms, and those terms exist to protect people's privacy and safety," Facebook said.
