    Don’t let your bias against Meta overcome critical thinking skills.

    As others have mentioned this is just incorrect. I’m no fan of Meta but you are a moron if you think this is happening.

      Given this is the top comment it should be pointed out that while Proton was incorrect about this being Meta there is research out about TikTok doing this very thing.

      The way you’ve worded your comment makes it seem like this either can’t happen or isn’t happening and that simply isn’t the case.

      You’re a moron if you think only Meta is doing this. Teams on Windows is a keystroke logger and has been since launch. It records even mouse movements by microseconds in a plain txt file.

      If you are using a mobile app, it’s a pretty good bet it’s logging every input.

        Agreed, and who ever that still uses Facebook in 2024 really needs to get out and meet real ppl and get a life.

        Fuck 500 virtual friends. I’ll trade that in a second for 1 real true friend IRL.

      Maybe not keylogging but it’s pretty fucking bad still, it tracks basically everything else about how you navigate when using the integrated browser.
