Facebook confirms data-sharing agreements with Chinese firms, including Huawei (2018)

The article says this was a deal to have Facebook apps pre-installed on Huawei phones which Facebook also has with other manufacturers. This Reuters article says it was ended in 2019: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-huawei-tech-usa-facebook-...

Facebook is one of these companies that are so disconnected with their user base they cannot even comprehend why people are upset.

The best part about facebook is that they think they're so freaking good, lecturing others about how to speak and act while themselves doing the opposite.

Corporate double speak, the main thing I hate about woke culture.

People don't use Facebook because it won't share their data. I'm pretty sure most Facebook user suspect Facebook does it more than it actualy does.

People use Facebook because it is efficient at connecting people. The "won't share your data" part is very secondary to that.
