I'm not sure why this ended up on the HN frontpage. This seems like a fairly unremarkable event.
Obviously anything posted through Facebook could potentially be seen by some Facebook employee/bot at some level, right? This is expected - otherwise the likes of Signal/WhatsApp/Telegram/Matrix wouldn't be a thing.
- SapphireSun 9y agoIt's only unremarkable in the sense that we know in the abstract that FB can look at our stuff. This makes it concrete. That's very important as it breaks the mental model users have of Facebook, that messanger is in some sense private. Events like these can drive the point home that that is not correct.
