Zuckerberg is probably right in this one. Whatever fines might come out in the EU around this will be nothing compared to the cost of loosing the customers they notify and the cost of notifying them.
Yes, for protecting his own interests. Users are just like cattle, playing farming simulations, feeding cattle.
They needn't to know what's happening in real life.

There is no mention of GDPR in the article, but in the worst case of not notifying _at all_, the GDPR fine should be $3.5B (4% of their global revenue). Is this quantity insignificant enough for them to ignore? (not rhetorical, i have no idea how much capital they are happy to burn).

Right from an economic perspective perhaps, but not an ethical one...
That's is for Facebook in EU, I hope.

Just imagine getting a SMS (chain):
> You phone number and some of your data () had been involved into a Facebook data breach. While Facebook is required by to inform you about this breach they insists of not complying with the law and keeping they users in the dark. As such we decided to do so. More information can be found here:
It's from 2019 is the stupid excuse they have. The amount of laxity they have shown in this matter is appalling!!
This huge leak has definitely killed the SMS text messaging service. Sender can be spoofed and spam/scam/phishing have reached an intolerable level. The fact that they can cross reference you and then produce a more personalized content is huge. Changing password is easy (ok less easy if you recycle it) but changing phone number is something that I am not even relaxed to do.
Is this worldwide or US? I for now trust the senderid and assume them to be valid if they are coming from bank etc. I also haven't heard of anyone spoofing SMS. Should I be more cautious?

Worldwide. SMS is just like e-mail, you can put anything you want in the sender field. You should absolutely not trust SMS.
