Are you conflating telemetry with literally live-streaming your life to Meta? Because that's what makes the statement weird.

edit 2: OK, I see what you mean. But I'm wondering if it should be possible to consent to this via T&C. Basically the same issue as with many online services, turned up to 11, sure. And it involves OTHER people, who have not consented.

Stuff like this used to be outrage fuel even when it was more of a social experiment, e.g. the documentary "We live in public" or the "Big brother" TV show. By now, I'm sure there have been millions of influencers doing similar things, but it's very much not considered normal?

Streaming to an unknown number of employees might be considered different from streaming to the public, sure.

But the core question here is whether there's informed consent, and, IMO also, if it should be possible to consent to this when the other party is a company like Meta and the pretext is not deliberately seeking attention (like influencers and streamers do).

edit, clarified social media comparison

Tangential but I always thought reality shows like Big Brother were mostly staged. Like not scripted, but definitely not natural.

Yes, they are "lightly scripted."
