Well in my defense your evidence is as anecdotal as mine here. The habit of making all options opt out and actively resetting past opt outs over the course of, to your point, decades isn’t exactly what I would call a focus on privacy. If they were still up to the same practices 15 years ago, 10 years ago and as recent as the last few years....and to your point at scale it doesn’t chnage over night...how are they exactly privacy conscious. The company since its inception is basically antithetical to the concept of privacy and ownership of the data you place on their service. Edit. To be clear. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with their model. Not a fan of their opt out style approach but that’s clearly not a major issue for most. I just wouldn’t categorize Facebook as privacy focused. At best they seem to respond in a minimalist way to these concerns. Which again is fine. But I wouldn’t say it’s a focus for them.
