And if so, why exactly? It says it’s end-to-end encrypted. The metadata isn’t. But what is metadata and is it bad that it’s not? Are there any other problematic things?

I think I have a few answers for these questions, but I was wondering if anyone else has good answers/explanations/links to share where I can inform myself more.

      Not sure what you mean? It’s a meta app, they can easily fingerprint your devices without the need of an IP address, VPN doesn’t matter at all. If you access any Meta services from the same device, they know exactly who you are.
