Since several journalists wrote about this issue, Meta has made it clearer to users when interactions with its bot will be shared to the Discover tab.

So it wasn't even an error that they were being made public? Holy shit. I figured the response would be 'Oops, sorry, that never should have been made available publically', but it seems the only error was that it wasn't made clear to users that it would be.

Everyone knows people on the internet always closely read the notifications they get about what is the nature of the interaction they're having and what the risks are, and they take it seriously. They never just poke at buttons blindly like a cat with a jar on its head and start stream-of-consciousness typing, and doing random shit.

Consent should be mandatory per interaction.
