And yes, worth noting # of US personal records in this Facebook breach is similar to the case ⬆️. And that one we only were told in a report last year was used for election harms to suppress black voters. We also learned several people likely perjured themselves. ht @slpng_giants

So yes it matters it was never properly dealt with and instead Facebook leadership was either protected, even rewriting history through press leaks, or off launching “oversight” programs at leading academic institutions while public continues to be harmed.
