Do you think that this could be a FB data point as the creator of the archive claims to have had a deal with Facebook to scrape data?




I can’t read past the paywall. But you read a newspaper article in which someone (who? A FB official? An academic?) claims FB can derive something from user data? That’s something literally anyone can try to do. Doesn’t have to involve FB officially.


Sure, but I would love to see what FB derives from their wast data and userbase.
