“Data minimization — collecting the minimum amount of data required to support our services — is one of our core principles at Meta…” Yeah, right.

Yeah, right.
- pedalpete 5y agoThey don't say just how much data that is...so it isn't the biggest lie facebook has told.
- cute_boi 5y agoBest example on how politicians and big techs prevaricate.
- helloworld11 5y agoLovely little example of a completely meaningless statement that sounds good only superficially. Since they can always claim that "minimum amount" required includes nearly anything they can grab about users or non-users because "engagement" or whatever technical argument they decide to shit out, any quantity of data vampirism can be perfectly justified by the internal logic of their claim.
- birdwatcherr 5y agoI suppose this is just the strategy now with the re-branding. Facebook stole as much data as possible but at Meta a core principle has always been to steal as little data as we possible can. If we say it enough times then it must be true.
- cwackerfuss 5y agoI'm sure they actually do consider data minimization, but only when data collection stands in the way of getting users into the product.
