Not the kind of value we were hoping for

This is, unfortunately, the real way online companies value our privacy - not as a matter of principle, but as a resource to be extracted and used/sold.

Step right up and play the privacy controls shell game. Guess which settings will cause us to respect your privacy once and for all. It's an honest game. We wouldn't move things on you.

If the microphone were actually disabled, it wouldn't be able to respond to your question by saying the microphone is disabled because it wouldn't have heard your question in the first place.

In fairness to the person who applied those labels, there doesn't appear to be any other indicator for what the locked state is. Those labels were necessary.

Well that's creepy as fuck. You'd think those people would know something was up when they were offered something for free in exchange for doing something on Facebook.

When the same department that likely wrote Facebook's privacy policy argues users have no reasonable expectation of privacy, it's hard not to imagine some kind of shenanigans are going on. Is it a self-own? Are they painting themselves into a corner by admitting (or at least implying) fraud? I sure hope the plaintiffs in the case capitalize on this, because I think it would be hilarious to catch Facebook's lawyers with their pants down.
