I unequivocally do not trust them, hence my bringing it up. :)

An image of trustworthiness is much more important to them than actually being trustworthy. For them to be actual-trustworthy to the maximum number of people/accounts would involve a level of imagination and remodeling that I don't think they're capable of. Because it's a hard problem made worse by scale.

Indeed that's why I wrote that it's imperative for Facebook to make their platform seem trustworthy.

That's a misrepresentation.

What part of it is a misrepresentation? Just because it sounds beyond the pale doesn’t mean it’s a misrepresentation; the action it describes could be (is) beyond the pale.
