Meta is still on a whole other level when it comes to data privacy.

Gee are you implying that storing passwords in plaintext is a bad thing? /s

That's security, not privacy.

How much privacy do you have when someone has your account password?

You have none, because your security has been compromised. This is a flaw. Poor privacy is intentional.

I'm still pissed off that I've never had a facebook. I never gave them any info about me. I gave them no reason to have a profile on me.

Yet because OTHER people have facebook, they know my name, my address, my phone number. I don't know if they can identify me in pictures that other people post, but it wouldn't surprise me.

That shouldn't be allowed. I did not consent.

Correct. And the same is true for the mobile phones, carriers, and a slew of apps that all look at contacts. They know who you are and who your friends and family are.
