Really good technical write up, thanks for posting.

In any sane world any company using these sorts of abusive practices, especially at this sort of scale, would be banned from the mobile app stores & fined to oblivion.

Alas, I fear a small fine is the best that may happen via user initiated lawsuits, which ends up as just another cost of doing business for orgs of that size.

Anyone that still uses any Facebook services are flatly a fucking moron. I don't care about who you want to chat with once a year, you are a fucking moron.

Some people like being unpaid OnlyFans models whose intimate details go to corporations instead of pervy guys
