So let me get this straight. They are not exposing it to consumers. Everyone is being explicit that it is NOT exposed to CONSUMERS. Doesn't that leave it open to being exposed to non-consumer entities? Things like Meta internally and government entities are non-consumer entities. I believe other businesses could be construed as non-consumer entities as well. So they could easily NEVER expose this to the end users and still make bank selling the data to brokers, government agencies, or private surveillance companies like Palentier or Flock.
Cool cool cool... Good to know.
