IANAL, but I'm not sure that's legal everywhere facebook operates.

[–] Phanatik@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

Have you any idea how many billions Facebook has been fined for this shit.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Capitalists don't care if something is legal or not. Just how much the fine will impact their bottom line. And if anyone can prove it. I 100 percent guarantee you that every major tech company is technically in violation of the GDPR etc. it's just a matter of whether or not it will ever be provable enough to be actionable.

The data is out there. Meta does not need threads to scrape it is the basic thing to take away.
