They lie about everything else, why would this be different?

How this exageration contributes to a discussion here? It is very popular now to bash facebook. This kind of herd conformism and unsubstantiated claims are harming hacker news community in my humble opinion.

If you do not bring new evidence or ideas, please refrain from exaggerated accusations.

Ah please. It can easily be found in the record that almost every statement made by Facebook is a lie or not truthful. Just one influential for me is the promise not to do anything with WhatsApp and Facebook. Incredibly naive at the time to approve that acquisition on the pinky swear they’d hold their word. At this stage I’m astounded by any official taking the word of Facebook. Their incentives to spin are insurmountable.
All discussions about Facebook must include a reminder that they lie about everything. Pretending that they are trustworthy or reliable is disingenuous. Truths about Facebook’s lying can’t be repeated enough.
