Jokes apart, if this is true then what is the legitimate use case for Facebook for getting access to router? This may be potentially used for ad fraud, DDoS, surveillance etc all of which have potential penalties. I wonder if they have added another clause in their ToS that they may use auxiliary mediums/ channels/ network devices to collect data so that they can improve customer ad delivery experience.
The original thread is just as incoherent. Did anything ever come of this / did the op ever post any substantial information? I don't even see where in the, presumably somewhat large and structured, data dump they want to have found this. Is it supposed to be some malicious clipboard monitoring? Did they post their clipboard content, creating a draft document somewhere?
It's hard to follow what OP is trying to describe. They used LastPass to generate a password for their router but then accuse them of sniffing passwords?
I also have no idea what they're referring to regarding the Facebook export: "It's in the old Faceook downloadSecurity_and_login_information in a file called numbers that may be a profile user id".
r/privacy is generally known for lying on posts for upvotes. Most of the kids there don't see where they put their stuff and complain that Facebook is spying on them. While Facebook collects a lot of unnecessary data, they mostly get it from what you give it to them.
Clearly, the guy even knew why the camera was accessed. On android, when you swipe up to go home, the Whatsapp camera slides in just a tiny bit from the left (due to the swiping action) and it shows as camera accessed.

This is objectively untrue.
They use lots of dark patterns and unethical means to get the information and trick people into submitting them.
