Meta’s Vice President of Communications Andy Stone complained that Wired waited until the fourth paragraph to note the facial recognition feature was “not enabled,” and doesn’t note until the 16th paragraph that the feature is exploratory.

Why is the code pushes to the customer downloadable app of its an internal experiment.

If it was “experimental” and “not enabled”, why the fuck did you push it to the totality of the devices’ user base, fuckerberg?
