    Exclusively open source? Otherwise, you’ll spare Zuckerberg too. Facebook has given us a bunch of really cool open source projects.

        I only know honeypots to be something used to bait out illegal activities, so I don’t know what you mean by that.

          honeypot is an enticing … thing that you use to gain an advantage over someone. I’m implying the facebook open source stuff is bait and they harvest something from you, be it data, legitimacy or something else.

            Oh, they use it to gain goodwill, attract talent, and get free labour. It’s no secret. Zuckerberg openly talks about this.

            I wouldn’t call it bait though. They’re legitimately good projects, and you’re free to make use of them while giving nothing back.

            Unless you have some evidence to say otherwise the open source projects don’t report back to Facebook servers so they don’t collect data on anyone.

            It’s hosted on GitHub so if anything it collects data for Microsoft, and knowing Microsoft they don’t do anything coherent with the data.
