Won't that get them in trouble in the EU? I had to check, but the GDPR was implemented in 2018, and the leak was in 2019.

#12That’s fine. This has pushed me to close my last remaining account with them in the next 24 hours, so they won’t need to send me a breach notice after they’re sued for it.
Thanks Facebook admin for the encouragement to speed up my plans!

#13Sometimes I wonder if the data from the cameras on my Oculus Quest 2 is being sent to FB's servers and kept. I guess I'll never know.
It’s going over your wifi, right? To start, you could evaluate whether the upload bandwidth could fit a video signal.
I think there is no doubt it isn't uploading a raw video signal. But all kinds of things could be derived from that video and uploaded.

#14When will our elected officials focus on new laws for new challenges. Our digital “bill of rights” is long overdue

#15And they apparently also didn't plan on deleting my PII (phone number was in the leak), even after I permanently deleted my account at FB over 3 years ago.
I thought I had the 'right to be forgotten' because of the GDPR, as I'm a European citizen. Has there been any real enforcement of these laws aside from the relatively small fine here and there?
I've been blocking FB actively for the last few years, I can't even visit FB because of my /etc/hosts file setup. It seems quite impossible to get back some privacy online even though I try and take measures. Use Duckduckgo, Brave browser, VPN, no social media, etc. I was a happy person when GDPR first came through.

#16why would we need to? it's all of the news, so the people have been notified. --Facebook

#17This is disappointing. Admitting the mistake is crucial in the process of fixing the problem. This just shows that they have learned little after all the company has been through.

This is just yet another example of that. It's not like we didn't realize they don't care until this instance. It's hard wired in the DNA, and this is just more evidence of that.

#18Facebook today closed at a record high of 309, up from 299, on the first trading day after this leak hit the press. It has since increased to a higher record high (currently 312 with 10 minutes left)
Wall Street fueled by Jim Cramer's FAANG doesn't care about consumer privacy.

#19What is really strange about this data leak is what is missing in it. I see at least two countries that aren't there.

What's the maximum fine under GDPR? It's some percentage of global revenue, right?
