Where? Here's what I have from Larry in this thread:

"A Facebook employee entered a comment that said that only the user who
posted the image gets that URL from them, so therefore it’s private..."

"I’ve often thought that security through obscurity gets a bad rap.
Perhaps this is one of those cases.

My real problem with it is that I’ve marked it for “Only Me.” Why do
they need to provide this link? And they only do it for images, not for
plain text posts or videos where you mark it as “Only Me.”"
