For us maybe.
No it’s illegal for anyone.
We'll see if the zuck faces any consequences.
From that article, it sounds like they can use the "we asked users to install it, and paid them" to wiggle out of things.
Not saying that should be allowed, because this is shady AF.
I'm no expert but this sounds... illegal
Isn’t that like a crime that is meant to carry jail time?
Only for poor people
And aren't corporations people?
They are rich people, that's different.
For what it is worth. Entire less than legal dark net markets get shut down and all their assets seized for facilitating exactly that kind of trade with ill gotten data. Facebook is literally evil.
But but but... they're USAian and thus better than foreign services that do the same. Also, they are "job providers" so we can't fine them too harshly
US justice system probably.
