Wow. I’m totally shocked that Facebook would launch a free VPN out of nowhere and then use it for nefarious purposes. I was sure they just wanted to help humanity. /s

The FBI Director puts covers over his camera when he was testifying in Congress. Its safe to say that it should be a mandatory thing for everyone.

Individual does this – CFPA indictment instantly.
MegaCorp does this – Oh dear, we absolutely must meet to plan to implement a meeting to form a panel that will plan to meet to maybe ask nicely that MegaCorp stop what they’re doing (or pay us lots of lobbying funds to make it go away, which it will do anyhow, just not quite as quietly as if they pay us $$$)

How is this article related to the fediverse? It doesn’t even mention threads. This just seems like another “Facebook bad” article, which, while it might be true, doesn’t seem directly relevant to this sublemmy.

Meta runs Facebook.
Meta also runs Threads.
Threads runs on top of the ActivityPub protocol.
Some instances federate with Threads.
How is it not relevant if they’re willing to buy a company and hijack traffic for numbers, what won’t they do when they can just spin up a server and syphon data?
