Meta has previously said that it is technically unable to distinguish between data from users in the EU/EEA and other countries where people don't enjoy GDPR protection. Meta has also said that it cannot distinguish between sensitive data under Article 9 GDPR, such as ethnicity, political opinions, religious beliefs (for which the "legitimate interest" argument is not available under the law), and other data for which a "legitimate interest" could theoretically be claimed.

If cannot distinguish, default should to treat all data sensitive. That not in gdpr? If not that huge oversight.

Bunch of funkturd wankers are lying through their hole-ridden stinking teeth! Their whole goddamn business model is based on profiling. They know exactly who what where when why with whom for fuck’s sake.
