Other websites are different. facebook is performing one big MITM attack between friends and family, and shameless siphoning and selling all information to nefarious bidders.
> facebook is performing one big MITM
Is it a MITM attack if you choose to use that platform? That's like saying Uber is kidnapping, because you're in someone else's car. The whole point of MITM is you don't know there's a MITM.
> shameless siphoning
Accurate.
> selling all information to nefarious bidders
The data by CA was not sold, it was stolen. Facebook sells targeted ads.
They also build 'shadow profiles' of people who don't, though.
