Wow. I’m totally shocked that Facebook would launch a free VPN out of nowhere and then use it for nefarious purposes. I was sure they just wanted to help humanity. /s
They “trust me,” dumb fucks
I bet they snoop on a lot more than just Snapchat.
US: It’s totally fine cuz we’re spying on users all over the whole world. hihihi
Tiktok does it
US: That’s not fair
secret documents reveal shit its companies has done for more than a decade with impunity

This is stupid. China bans American social media and you don’t care. America does the same back and now it’s a conspiracy.
Doesn’t Zuck put covers on his laptop cameras?
The FBI Director puts covers over his camera when he was testifying in Congress. Its safe to say that it should be a mandatory thing for everyone.
In the article they said it was later extended to Amazon and YouTube
Absolutely disgusting. They should get sued into the ground, then through it.
Only matters if fine is at least 5% Facebook revenue probably.
Individual does this – CFPA indictment instantly.
MegaCorp does this – Oh dear, we absolutely must meet to plan to implement a meeting to form a panel that will plan to meet to maybe ask nicely that MegaCorp stop what they’re doing (or pay us lots of lobbying funds to make it go away, which it will do anyhow, just not quite as quietly as if they pay us $$$)
What’s a CFPA indictment?
Do you mean Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)?
The only reason this might see real legal action is that FB did this to other megacorps.
Its okay guys, we hear you, we see you, were gonna ban tik tok!
Yet another example of why we need privacy laws with real teeth.
Extradite them.
Oh wait…
Guess they’ll have to sell the company to an American buyer now!
Is it really so hard to just doll out consequences? Holy fuck, what is it gonna take? The eroding of every instituion in America? Oh wait
How is this article related to the fediverse? It doesn’t even mention threads. This just seems like another “Facebook bad” article, which, while it might be true, doesn’t seem directly relevant to this sublemmy.
Meta runs Facebook.
Meta also runs Threads.
Threads runs on top of the ActivityPub protocol.
Some instances federate with Threads.
How is it not relevant if they’re willing to buy a company and hijack traffic for numbers, what won’t they do when they can just spin up a server and syphon data?
