Good question. > Chat-App-Network Messenger had >1Billion users and so its users were 98% of our user base. We enabled them to communicate with users of other chat apps and vice versa. We didn't even use the 'Name' of the users. I applied for their bootstrap phase under their FbStart program but they directly selected it for the Acceleration phase. As for why I applied for Facebook if I care about Privacy? I was a disabled, solopreneur from a village in India, without any kind of network strength competing with Valley behemoths and any kind of help is not just a force multiplier but life or death(But my product was selected meritoriously by FB). Facebook privacy issues(Cambridge Analytica) started only several months after I launched the product, so the image of Facebook was not like what's today. But it did bother me and just after a year of running the platform successfully, I had to close my startup due to my health issues[1]. I did not sell my platform to safe guard the privacy of the users.
