  Thats the same vibe as: Don’t drive your kids to school, you might get hit by a drunk driver. Meta will take any image, per previous claims, they don’t care if it was public or not

    It’s moreso like asking the drunk driver to take your kids to school

      No. You ate doing something legal in good faith and the other person is being devious.

        Just because something is legal doesn’t make it right.

    which is why you don’t put it online in the first place, as the user said…

      Personally I don’t, I don’t have facebook, I’m degoogled, I self host my images on an immich server, etc. But we should nt be victim blaming, companies like meta should be accountable and develop better policies

    Nope. The poster is choosing to put the PII online, and cannot guarantee privacy. In IT Security, “How do you know” is the most powerful phrase; and for Facebook/Meta/etc, you just don’t.

    This is a fundamental rule since childhood (“If you’re coming home late from band practice, stay in a group because of the cougar”) and I’m not sure where you missed it.
