What an egregious mislabeling.
Data -> Chats and actual Identity
Metadata -> Who with whom and when from where,...
They construe payment info, PII and similar except chat contents as metadata and say metadata of metadata was that which is normally called metadata. And that it was safe to share despite this obviously being not true.

How does one understand the authors motivation?

- bronzeage 5y agoTheir motivation is to obviously control the public narrative. That's hard to do when facts contradicting the narrative spread. So you call the dissent misinformation, you pump propaganda which crates distrust of non mainstream media. You also create such articles calling for even more control of the discourse. The true misinformation is miss-information: the information mainstream media intentionally misses.

Metadata of the metadata: "aggregated datasets showing how many users a platform has, where accounts are created and when, how information travels, which types of messages and format-types are fastest to spread, which messages are commonly reported, and how (and when) users are booted off." That information should be safe to share if aggregated over all users.
