Is your logic that releasing this heinous volun into the public is more likely to pressure FB to do something about this? Because if so, I’m not sure that LW is a forum with enough public spotlight to generate pressure. OTOH, I imagine some percentage of readers here aren’t well-aligned but are looking for informational edge, in which case it’s possible this does more harm than good?
I’m not super-confident in this model—eg, it also seems entirely possible to me that lots of FB security engineers read the site and one or more will be shouting ZOMG! any moment over this..
I’m posting here (cross-posted with my FB wall and Twitter) mostly to vent about it, and to warn people that sharing VR headsets has infosec implications they may not have been aware of. I don’t think this comment will have much effect on Facebook’s actions.
