User claims Facebook employees went through his file sent in private chat

It all started when Cjrobe sent a Google Sheet link to his brother with “anyone with the link can view” permission but rather than the link getting delivered to the receiver it displayed an error “Sorry, this feature isn’t available right now.” After some time, Cjrobe tried to send the link again, but the result was the same. A screenshot shared by Cjrobe shows Facebook marked the link as spam and blocked him from sending to his brother and blocked him from sending any link for a while.

Upon checking, he found two anonymous users browsing his sheet. He then checked his chat history to see just in case the file link was delivered to his brother and it might be him viewing the file but it turned out none of the messages went through, and his brother never opened the file.

“I went back to my Google Sheets and saw TWO anonymous users browsing my sheet. Screenshot. I went back and double checked my chat history, and none of the messages went through, and my brother hadn’t opened it. I tried chatting with them, but they left pretty fast. After this, I sent the link to my brother again… and it worked. I guess the “time limit” had passed,” Cjrobe wrote on Reddit.
In 2015 a security researcher also discovered that Facebook sends ‘nonposts’ to its servers and Facebook monitors everything a user type even if they decide not to publish their post.
So what do you think? Is Cjrobe right about Facebook employees reading what was in the link he sent or was it just a “bug.”?
