Aww, they’re finally getting it. But too late, I assume they’re going to use some kind of cookie/IP matching to determine any and all Facebook accounts of someone that joins one of these rooms.
It’s really annoying, the Facebook Portal device looks genuinely great and something I’d love to use, especially in this quarantine. But I just don’t trust Facebook.

FB already has shadow profiles, because its Like/Share buttons on sites can track people across the web, I wonder if knowing the person's face/voice is useful.
They probably already know if a shadow user is most likely a teenage male (visits gaming sites) or middle-aged lady (hmm, what sites do they visit?). I guess using facial/voice profiling would be a way to confirm the profile.
If only it was end to end encrypted...
Or is this Poe's law and I'm tired.
(Had it said that in the title of the post, I'd have skipped this story.)
