https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/apr/07/meta-worker-london-accused-downloading-private-facebook-images When people ask me why I don't use Meta products, or those of any other surveillance-capitalist company, this is one good reason. The other good reasons are fairly well summed up by Shoshana Zuboff's 'Surveillance Capitalism'. 'Meta, which also owns WhatsApp, suffered a landmark court defeat alongside Google last month after being accused of failing to protect its users from harm. A court in Los Angeles found the companies liable for a woman’s childhood social media addiction, in a ruling which could have widespread ramifications for the way the platforms are operated in the future.' #facebook #meta #instagram #whatsapp #security #privacy #surveillance #SurveillanceCapitalism
