Facebook paid teenagers to install a VPN app, then used it to monitor their usage of Snapchat (techcrunch.com)

The VPN app would send every information possible about the user to Facebook. One of the things it did was to be a man-in-the-middle that decrypted the internet traffic to and from Snapchat so that Meta could collect analytics on how people were using Snapchat.

Meta is such a piece of shit company.
