Simple.
I've done a shit ton of research on Corporate Surveillance in the past and there are a lot of signs of a big discrepancy of what people think what is stored about them in TAO and what is _really_ stored about them in TAO. (For those of you who are not that into Facebook, infrastructure and/or devops: TAO is Facebook's graph database)
One of the keywords here is "shadow profiles" or the nodes and edges within the graph which are actually there but you can't directly influence as a user. A good example would be the former colleague of a close family member who never disclosed their place of work and without a current account whom Facebook decided to recommend as a "friend" to another family member who currently has a Facebook account but without an actual past or live connection between the two -- true story, I shit you not.
So it's better to stay silent than proof yet again that there is a profound case for GDPR-like regulation - like Brandon Eich recently recommended - in the United States.
