It helps to explain the whole “if you talk about what happened on the north shore, you’ll never get another job in this town again”. Translated to “silicon valley runs a data mafia for sale to mercenaries” with a personal anecdote of being harassed/gaslighted in public in part with info from a private Facebook message

This stuff ruins lives. “Dumb fucks”

Burn them to the ground. Or, more likely, have the cia silently partner up

I’m literally preparing for my suicide now by giving away all of my money, after years of being harassed by strangers. The incident in August 2015 that was related to my Facebook private messages was one of many, but was particularly insidious and caused significant damage to my life.

It’s highly likely that data has been for sale behind the scenes, readily available for malicious actors, making players like Facebook complicit in ugly shenanigans.

Please understand the downsides of information technology. It can be abused to hurt others in ways you may not have foreseen. I’m unable to withstand being harassed any further, and the harassment is 100% enabled by infotech. The Facebook shenanigans will hopefully serve as a prime example of the dangers of free information sharing by malicious actors.

I would say it's a near certainty. Not saying that Facebook the company was selling data under the table, but one corrupt or extorted sysadmin in the right place is all it would take.
