Safe to say that even if they did claim that they would stop, they probably wouldn’t. They’re like crackheads for peoples personal info. So fucking creepy
Meta has this dangerous mentality that they are above the law anyway, so whatever they say, until a government powerful enough to really make them pay steps up and shows them that they are in fact not above the law, they'll just fucking do whatever they fucking want.
Well when the governments around the world give them that power when they want them to push their agenda's all the time, can't really blame them for acting like the de-facto government they've become, thanks to actual govt's. Govt's always operate above their own laws, that's nothing new.
