#2Not the first to discover that a rule file saying "please don't do X" is not permission management. Funny that she mentions it worked on het toy inbox but the real, large inbox ran into issues; The more context you add the less weight "rules" (instructions) have. Happens to the best it seems.

Having worked at a large tech company for a long time, there are very strict controls in place to ensure what is published (even under personal employee accounts), and Meta employees are some of the most tight lipped people I have come across.
