Facbook recieved the mother of all fines of 5 Bn USD and lost 725 Mn USD in lawsuits over Cambridge Analytica despite there not being any evidence Facebook new of the firm's connection to Russia.
Any notion that they profited from that scandal or would do so in the future is pretty absurd.
China is hostile. They're a military expansionist dictatorship who routinely expesses malcontent towards the USA amd allies. They would pay good money to fuck us over.

Disabling cross site cookie is already a thing for decades...
Same with Do Not Track requests.
Also scams. They know you, your name, your contacts, dob, where you work, where you spend leisure time, your face, your house layout, and from your message details probably your darkest secrets and ssn.
Chinese online and over the phone scams have been surging massively in the past few years.

Facebook spent years in court just to get hit with the largest fine in the history of fines, 5,000,000,000.00 USD. They also payed another 725,000,000.00 in lawsuits.
All for selling to a British market research company that they had no idea was a Russian shell.
Idk how much you think they made off the deal, but probably nowhere close to as much as they lost.
As we illustrated several times in this thread, for Americans an American Company collecting your data is a lower risk than an adversarial dictatorship's military operation collecting your data for free (or even for profit as a cherry on top).
Slrpnk just feels like masked up tankies. They're even opaquely opposing the TikTok ban lol.
So my random reddit thread is bullshit and obscure but your random reddit thread is legit and relevant?
Oh no! I accidentally left location services on and now they've bricked my computer with ransomware! /sarcasm
Yeah, Waterfox is just another browser built on top of the Mozilla's GECKO engine. But without all the AI dickriding.
