BBC: The social network’s Safety Check system alerted people thousands of miles away from Lahore park, which was bombed Sunday. Facebook cited a “bug” in the system.
The Safety Check system is supposed to be a quick way for members of the social network to let friends and family know they are safe if they are caught up in or are close to a natural disaster or attack.
…”Unfortunately, many people not affected by the crisis received a notification asking if they were okay,” said Facebook in a statement.
