Hacker Culture? Facebook Pulls Internship From Marauder's Map Creator

Aran Khanna, a student at Harvard University, where a certain social network was created, told Allison Pohle of Boston.com that Facebook rescinded its offer of a summer internship at the last minute after he created a browser application called Marauder’s Map, which has since been disabled.

Marauder’s Map used the location data that is automatically shared by Facebook Messenger to display where users were when they sent messages, including users in group chats that they were not friends with.

Khanna told Pohle that on May 26, he posted about Marauder’s Map on Twitter, Reddit and Medium, and three days later, Facebook asked him to disable the app and deactivated location sharing from desktops.
