Matthew GreenThis thing Facebook did — running an MITM on Snapchat and other competitors’ TLS connections via their Onavo VPN — is so deeply messed up and evil that it completely changes my perspective on what that company is willing to do to its users.

They did that from 2012 to 2019 and it was published by Techcrunch at the time. Their investigation essentially revealed that the reason Facebook acquired Onavo was so that they could acquire "competitive intelligence" to prevent another Instagram surprise.
Why does it change your perspective of the company in 2024? Honest question. I thought this was widely known since at least Cambridge Analytica.
