Could someone either change title to “Facebook joins the Data Transfer Project (2019)”, or change the URL to https://datatransferproject.dev https://datatransferproject.dev? It’s not about a product or feature of Facebook, it’s about Facebook joining an existing initiative so the title is between confusing and misleading.
I’m curious about the incentives. On one hand, it must be expensive to implement this kind of universal data importer/exporter across your products; on the other hand, this allows your users to switch to a competitor more easily.
