    I love that a week ago, the Facebook spokesperson statement was still this:

    We understand people’s concerns, which is why we continue to strengthen our systems to make scraping from Facebook without our permission more difficult and go after the people behind it. As LinkedIn and Clubhouse have shown, no company can completely eliminate scraping or prevent data sets like these from appearing. That’s why we devote substantial resources to combat it and will continue to build out our capabilities to help stay ahead of this challenge.

    Now they got caught, so they literally just removed that sentence about LinkedIn and Clubhouse, and added yet another meaningless sentence upfront to pad up the length.
