Meta announcement soon: "We made an update to our privacy statement. The most significant change is that we have now explicitly stated that you, the user, are in full control of your account and your data and you will have a lifelong, exlusive right to that data. We are doing this in the users best interest and comply with privacy regulations."

Conveniantly leaving out that they're effectively changing nothing except that you now loose all rights to your data and your account after you die.
