I'm sorry, but WTF?
Password in plain text?
They are already plagued with privacy concerns, bit this is way over the top!
I can't think of any reason why any sane (and not so sane) IT personnels can do that.

Even if they hack or delete my profile I don't care. Remove my profile and I won't create new one again. And they will lose one more consumer.

Why was the so-called Finnish company sending data to the Chinese govt? Never trust these companies. Facebook, Google, HMD,... wtv their name maybe they all do the same thing, spy.

Anyone who still uses Facebook is just insane. You could write your private data on a public bathroom wall & it'll be safer there. Get rid of Facebook. I did, long ago.

They outsource content moderation mostly to the Philippines, and I think the login repository is available to the employees of their contractors as well. We have always thought big tech companies like Facebook process content moderation through some sort of an AI, but a recent news article I have read somewhere says it is largely done manually.
