Facebook doesn't give me a straight answer, when I ask them questions about their policies, even when my questions aren't answered by their policies. The job of the privacy team within Facebook is not privacy: it's reducing liability.


You obviously do not or have never worked there.


Obviously not: if I had, I'd have inside contacts I could ask, instead of having to bother their public relations people to beg for scraps of intel about what they're doing with my information, while they act

I don't believe they've lied to me – I'm not so uncharitable as to assume their incorrect "it's written in the policy!" claims were deliberate lies –, but they're certainly not forthcoming.


You obviously do not or have never paid attention to news about Meta's many and repeated moral, ethical, and legal violations.

That, or you have a vested interested in making sure that your stake in Meta does not depreciate in value.
