    Honestly, I think they just saw that Whatsapp was becoming the standard chat app for basically all of the world outside of the US and China, and just didn’t want anybody else to have it.

    Additionally, metadata is better than no data, I guess.

      Meta data is prolly more valuable at scale…

      Most of are really generic so any single normie data package has but so much value. Middling income with middle hobbies etc

      However, having data on 330 million pedons along with each ones connections, thats power.
