The update at the end about the data the app mines is presented as a "why would they want all this telemetry and info about all the things their users do?"
Like, fuck me, have we not been aware that our data is their actual product for ages now? It's a really braindead article, with major both-sides vibes.
Interesting feedback. I definitely wasn't trying to "both-sides" coverage of Meta's entry into the network, the bit at the end was more of an incredulous "WTF?!" because asking for telemetry like Health Data sounds like a lot, even for a microblogging app made by Meta.
