Explanation / Answer

I guess Govt. did nothing wrong here.Consider a case, if you accidentally put you personal or bank details on the social website then it's not the fault of others if they are seeing it, utilizing it for their own purpose, it's your fault as you put it on public display.

So, Govt, didn't break any rule eventually, because of the fault of administrator, it gets revealed in public.
