So glad I only used FB for a few years before deleting my account. I could see this stuff coming from miles away.
It just never ends with FB though. I can't tell what's worse though. Them continually telling their users they care about privacy and then going right back to taking and using people's data for nefarious reasons; or the users who continue to put up with it year after year, scandal after scandal and willing give up their privacy.

If you're doing it for one, is there really any harm in doing it for two? [0]...I suppose I'm assuming here that somebody who has an account on HN has a smartphone.
- ineedasername 9y ago"any harm in doing it for two?" Think of it like the prospect of having unprotected sex with a partner. One potential partner has always been faithful, another has had a few slip ups, a few betrayals. Do you see potential relationships with each a little differently? Of course, a valid followup question is, "Yeah, but has any data-hoovering company in SV been faithful?"
