With all of the complexity of tracking technology, protocols and data laws I'm wondering whether these findings are also revelations to FB.
I'm not shilling for them but just wondering whether some of these results are a direct consequence of the nature of the systems rather than nefarious design
- nieve 5y agoSome set of developers wrote code to extract the location metadata and feed it to their tracking system for advertising purposes. How can that be just some emergent property? Actual human beings held meetings about it and worked long hours getting it done. It's hard to see your claim as not "shilling" for them.

- fsociety 5y agoThis is likely the truth, code blindly extracts metadata from the photos without being aware of the privacy permissions. Doesn’t excuse it but outlines that a developer can have good intent but bad outcomes.
- jack_riminton 5y agoExactly. FB have depleted any benefit-of-the-doubt but I never attribute to malice what can most accurately be explained by stupidity or complexity
