I couldn't be true. You're telling me that Meta, of all companies, would be careless with user data and privacy? Totally unbelievable!

The ceo who infamously said this
Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don't know why.
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Dumb fucks.
To be fair, this is every tech company, ever, with extremely rare exceptions.

To be "fair", Zuckerberg is a mendacious little prick with a history
Did the Google guys ever get caught saying that? Or using their power over the company to unsend messages, oh I guess you can't do that with email, but with Messenger you can...

I mean, not to victim blame or use the word "deserve", but anyone willingly using any Facebook product at this point should know what they're signing up for.

Unfortunately people are still not that smart or aware of the risks. They should be, but that's not the reality yet.

Network effects matter and no you can't just 'email/call them'. Not everyone automatically has those. You can get it, but something like FB, loose connections, regaining contact (you literally don't have their email/phone numbers and don't tell me 'oh but you lost touch for a reason'), is a nice thing if its CEO wasn't who he is

Lesson here is that the subdomain names can be queried due to passive DNS records, and putting stuff that is not supposed to be guessable in subdomain names is a bad idea.
