Your post sounds like you’re honestly surprised. I wonder why though. Facebook/Meta has played a major role in a genocide, was involved in several election manipulation operations and had more scandals involving privacy violation, abuse of data and lying to lawmakers’ faces than I could possibly link to.

What’s missing from this report is more detail on how exactly this attack went down. Did the attackers compromise supermarket networks and manipulate the fridges through lateral movement within the network; or were the fridges accessible from the open internet? If the latter is the case (and there’s a non-zero likelihood they were): why the fuck?

Tips hat. That’s some cleverly painful poetry, good Sir!

Oh, it “harms democracy”, doesn’t it? How about this headline: social media fuels a genocide by spreading rumors, Myanmar finds. But alas, that was 2017 and only brown people getting harmed in some far-away place, so it’s old news and nothing to hold Facebook accountable for, eh?
