"Instagram owner"

Have they paid the publication for this weird title? It's Meta. Are they so ashamed they believe calling it a Meta service would mean less users?

Also, are we all going to pretend that Meta isn't just Facebook, the company that sold all our data to Cambridge Analytica for a quick buck, a company who then used that data to direct target right leaning moderate, pump them full of anxiety and fear, and turn them into Trump devotees? A company that then later didn't store that data properly and leaked it, allowing thousands of identities to be stolen (including mine)? Meta / Facebook / Instagram are not good actors on the internet and we should be doing more to sully their name

Don't forget that they paid teens to (unbeknownst to them) install a vpn and collect all their data, including message content

They also used a hacky mechanism bc they knew they were breaking the app store rules

Facebook / Meta / the instagram owner is evil as fuck
