As someone who works for a similar large org, it's just as likely that some low level programmer put it in without much thought, and then this got surfaces to higher up people who didn't know about it and told them to remove it immediately.

Hopefully not too late to make it into the lawsuit. Assholes.

I sure hope there's a lawsuit. Over the last ten years, I've gotten over $2,000 in lawsuit settlement checks from Meta, alone.

I have a savings account at one of my banks that I use just for these settlement checks. Sometimes they're just $5. Sometimes they're a lot more. I think the most I ever got was around $500.

It's a little bit here, and a little bit there, but at the rate it's going, in another five years, I'll be able to buy a car with privacy violation money.
