I highly doubt that. The two groups responsible for each probably aren't aware of what the other party is working on. I don't see Facebook launching a feature if it isn't ready, nor do I see them holding a feature back that is ready.

Instead of working on mundane tasks and simple problems, interns are given high-impact assignments that reach out to hundreds of millions users every time they use Facebook. "

- mkjones 15y agoYeah, I work on the team that launched this, all that google privacy PR stuff is just poorly timed - they're completely unrelated. I wish this launch hadn't been tarnished / buried by it :-(.
