As someone in the same boat as you, it does seem like Portal webpage is directly acknowledging this sentiment and addressing them[0].

Whether or not this page can be trusted, we'll have to see what people find out (I sure ain't going to pay for it to do that myself).

In typical facebook style, their answers are all "does not", whereas they should be saying "will never". It is in their nature to shift the goalposts. I wont be getting one, and I'll be making sure noone close to me gets one either.
Because of "move fast and break things" I expect that we will find some unauthorized third party ended up getting access to live audio and video from customer's Portal devices. There will be remediation of the loophole and then we'll all forget about it.
I like how facebook webpage set's cookies local storage and session storage data, tags me in their CMS and show's me message "Private by design"

I feel safe now.

It basically says:

Dear Wife, there was a question about my behavior towards you in the past. Some think I was rough with you but in my defense I have never been convicted of giving you that black eye. Please keep supporting me!
