The Regulatory Repeat Offender
Very few tech monopolies spend as much time fielding government depositions, congressional hearings, and class-action settlements as Meta. From Cambridge Analytica to billions in regulatory fines, the operating premise has remained constant: harvest everything first, apologize to lawmakers later, and treat legal penalties as routine business expenses. The platform operates as an advertising clearinghouse that merely provides social networking as bait.
The Double Standard
While company leadership fiercely guards its internal proprietary algorithms, private communications, and executive privacy behind non-disclosure agreements, users are subjected to non-stop behavioral telemetry. Contact lists are vacuumed, external web browsing is monitored, and chronological timelines are suppressed in favor of engagement-driven outrage feeds. Giving Meta an active footprint on personal hardware is an open invitation to continuous extraction.
