i don't work for FB anymore. The content of the accusation leave out two critical pieces. 1. Users gave consent to share private information. 2. Only publicly available information was shared these partners. Those are pretty important omissions in my opinion.

The article clearly says users did not consent. And even if they did, that would presumably clash with your other assertion, namely that “only publicly available information was shared”.

So I stand by my accusation that you are pretending to be stupid, because no person working at Facebook would really be unable to find the accusation of private data being shared in an article titled “Facebook gave Spotify and Netflix access to users’ private messages”

You seem to be asserting that you have knowledge of the situation, enough to dispute the article. And you're an ex-employee of FB. That's most interesting. What else can you tell us? Be detailed.
