    Ha, look at this dood over here trusting Meta does not get the data on their devices though workarounds.

        No need for magic, if samsung and sony can do it with tvs and fridges why would Meta (a company built almost entirely on and from user data) not use the same sort of tactics, maybe not the raw data but meta data I am sure.

            Well in the tv and fridge example they piggy backed on other networks in range using a backdoor. Like cellphones and other devices.

                If I can find the lawsuit sure, It was just a footnote in a suit about 5 years ago. Oddly I am having issues finding the coverage on it from before, but I do know that the suit was settled and was to include evidence of hidden backup “maintenance” networks if a smart device was offline/did not report after a set time. I remember it was a big deal at the time as it implied that device makers where building in support for these unlisted hotspots possibly across manufacturers.

                There is a current case on the issue in general but not about the back door network tricks, not even sure if the backdoor was ever proven (the case was settled). But I know that these companies think they are entitled to our data and have little trust they would not do some sort of shit like this.
