I'd trust thieves with my data over Meta because thieves can do less harm with it.

Safe and secure on our servers. We will use it to sell you stuff.

Remember that time they were spying on all of their "free" VPN traffic through some elaborate scheme? Onavo, for anyone interested. This was only like 2 years ago.

I trust Meta far more than, say, Anthropic. For one, the judgments against them from the government just mean that they have tons of oversight and auditing happening now. The other providers are just the wild west with privacy.

Also:

"...and your conversations are not shared with Meta's ad systems".

I think they missed off "for now".

Do you mean in terms of competence at resisting breaches? I trust Meta’s security team a lot more than anyone else’s in that respect.

They are big enough and pay well to have a competent team. Compared with momandpop.com (willing but too small) or equifax (big but unwilling) and given the kind of data they are guarding, they’re probably the best in the business.

You should probably trust thieves more than Meta.

OpenAI?
