This is unconscionable. What even could have been the motivation for the government to do this?

nowadays it seems they don’t need to, the cars do that well enough on their own. I saw an article the other day about some models with the entertainment center setup that phone home and insurance companies about your driving styles. Scary when you think about whats tracked on you

Meta and the Department of Education did not respond to a request for comment on the suit or for more information on how the students’ data was used.
The Pixel Hunt
Meta offers the pixel free to businesses and organizations to embed on their websites and track visitors. By using the tool, companies can gather data about users’ interest and later advertise to them on Facebook.
My guess is it was a “free” way to get data on who was applying and how successful they were at promoting the application. Just slap a line of HTML to call the facebook evilbots and later we can log in and see our results.
Oh, facebook’s horrible though. Yeah, that’s a downside. Also, being as we’re in the twenty-first century could we pay for some more expertise in the government? The person who actually did the work was probably paid very little and reported to someone who “isn’t computer-savvy”.

It was an accident y'all... Facebook will delete the data now.
Nobody to blame, nobody at fault. Nothing to see.
Get fucked plebs
