None of these “bugs” ever seem to result in accidentally accessing less data. How odd.

What is this comment even trying to say?

There are plenty of bugs that result in less data... many of them are called crashes and FB has them just like any other app.

ELI5:

It's a pithy sardonic addition to the chorus of scorn rightly directed at Facebook, rearticulating the consensus opinion that one consequence of their persistent malfeasance and its regular public disclosure is a profound loss of trust, such that genuine mistakes will never be perceived as such; and furthermore, this creates a self-perpetuating cycle in which embarrassing true bugs are interleaved with further documentation of bad faith in such a way that the distinction is not only lost but essentially irrelevant.

ELI5 of my comment:

The comment I replied to is not nearly as pithy as it thinks and comes across as more corny than commentary.

If a bug resulted on you being unable to post to Facebook sometimes, or you posting to your friends only what you meant to post to everybody (the setting called "public"), why would the mass media cover it?

Mass media does cover outages.

Broken logging happens all the time, but there aren’t articles about it
