Criminals seem unlikely to follow laws, so why bother having them? Of course devs would need to intentionally follow the privacy wishes of users but without metadata, even responsible developers who want to, can't.

I guess my question for you, considering it looks like you worked with devs at FB, is this article regarding FB platform design accurate? That's the most shocking thing to me that this article conveys, that even if you wanted to ensure data privacy as a dev, you couldn't unless you built a custom tool. I'd be pretty surprised if most (or any) would.

Curious on your thoughts.
