I'd trust thieves with my data over Meta because thieves can do less harm with it.
replySafe and secure on our servers. We will use it to sell you stuff.
replyRemember that time they were spying on all of their "free" VPN traffic through some elaborate scheme? Onavo, for anyone interested. This was only like 2 years ago.
replyRemember when their Android app would open a local TCP port, and they would have websites connect to localhost:PORT so they could deanonymize you? That was only like 1 year ago.
replyI trust Meta far more than, say, Anthropic. For one, the judgments against them from the government just mean that they have tons of oversight and auditing happening now. The other providers are just the wild west with privacy.
replyReally? There's so much information about how Meta targeted children with addictive design patterns. They paid the fine, and profited in the meantime. Do you really think they have any reason not to do the same in the future?
replyTrue, actually. Anthropic is a much bigger danger than anything else right now. Still though, Meta earns a solid 10% of trust from me.
replyAlso:
reply"...and your conversations are not shared with Meta's ad systems".
I think they missed off "for now".
Do you mean in terms of competence at resisting breaches? I trust Meta’s security team a lot more than anyone else’s in that respect.
replyThey are big enough and pay well to have a competent team. Compared with momandpop.com (willing but too small) or equifax (big but unwilling) and given the kind of data they are guarding, they’re probably the best in the business.
I trust Meta will keep those they don't want to access the data out. It's Meta that I don't trust.
replyYou should probably trust thieves more than Meta.
