This may be the first time in the history of the internet a statement from Facebook has ever been held up as an example of honesty and transparency from a corporation in America.

The GDPR has already called out Facebook for lack of info in its response to the breach: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/02/facebooks-muddy-account-brea...

Not sure why you'd pick that example.

Mostly because I believe that, while it's important to maintain healthy skepticism around privacy and security issues, I also believe that we don't benefit from cynical hyperbole.

That's because they have been under tremendous scrutiny recently.
