I suppose it's not even legal since it's highly misleading but they don't care and do it until costs (penalties) catch up to them.

I also get spam from them without even having an account - but it was taken over from oculus illegally and never agreed to. They still did it.

The problem is that the penalties are just way to low. They really need to be in the double digit billions to work.

Too many corporations, those are just the cost of doing business.

I agree, but the EU penalties are percentages oriented on business numbers, at least that amounts to something whenever it applies.

There's always a choice to not use any of the Meta products. A choice I made 10 years ago. A choice that has only affected me positively.

I kinda blame the people for still using these evil corporation products.

Oh wow! That’s just next level villainous scheming. Then again, what can you expect from the public enemy number 1. Meta is still the cancer of the internet, so nothing has really changed.
