This is simply just not true. Meta used an adversary-in-the-middle attack to decrypt Snapchat and other competitors traffic. Facebook, Apple, Twitter and Google have been intercepting traffic since before https/sandbox/anti-virus were the norm. Do you think they didn't do anything malicious?
Install any Google app on Windows and it will install a task schedule and a always online background service to "check for updates" and downloads and runs their executable without any user consent. I wonder why no body had a problem with that. hmm…

Google runs it own operating system so they could technically do anything they so fucking please. You think Chinese Android variants are using exploits or just scooping data wholesale, because it can. But you think Google and Apple aren't?
