Hey all -

Just curious if anyone has seen a notice related to the news below. Reporting says hundreds sent out and that in most cases the tech companies have to notify the person and give time to contest it. So it would be good to get a clear example of these admin subpoena notices so we can all be on the lookout:

Or maybe this is some huge bullshit scare tactic.

Thank you!

    I meant I don’t give it to companies, because I know that’s why they want it.

    If you have given it to a person who has any account anywhere that has anything remotely to do with meta-owned entities, and they did not explicitly say no to sharing contacts info (basically just one person giving FB messenger access to their phone contacts), then meta has your phone number, name and a whole bunch of scarily accurate extrapolated data on you and other sources they correlate that with.

      They might have my name and number. They don’t have anything to connect that information to, because I don’t give it.

        You’d be surprised. If you have ever ordered, or booked, something online, they will absolutely have something to connect that to and from there they keep pulling.

          I would not be surprised, I’ve investigated this pretty thoroughly. I’ve blocked all Meta domains from my network and devices. I dont give any of those stores my phone # or real name, and I use a virtual credit card that doesn’t have my name or real address. All items are shipped to a PO box.
