Exactly. A lot of people think this is hypocrisy but this is exactly what you want Facebook doing. It seems like a week doesn't pass that there isn't news of yet another scraping/dark-adtech firm exposing hundreds of millions of these types of records[0] If you think Facebook are bad, these companies are an order of magnitude more evil, and you're never going to hold any of them accountable because they don't care for regulations. edit: The threat model here is really concerning. To build user databases legitimately takes a lot of effort and funding. To do it via extensions and scraping requires finding browser extensions that have a lot of users and loose permissions (usually https://*/\ https://*/\*) and acquiring them for cheap, pushing an update and then just watching the data roll in. The only recourse is further lockdown of browser extension capabilities (which also punishes good apps like uBlock Origin), purging extension stores (which also usually traps innocent players) and/or taking legal action as Facebook are doing [0] https://www.safetydetectives.com/blog/socialarks-leak-report/ https://www.safetydetectives.com/blog/socialarks-leak-report...
