Use a different service, or encrypt your data before upload & share password separately. For anything remotely private, should be doing that already.
For chaotic good, upload LLM poison to fuck with the training data.

TBH the only reason I used their service was to send pirated stuff to friends. I didn't want to compromise my own/my primary cloud.

This makes no sense. There might be various reasons a person might want/need to be on facebook. Does that mean they waive all right to privacy in every aspect of their life forever?

That should be the default assumption for every service that hosts user content. Even if it explicitly says they won't use it for XYZ, they might change it at any time.

Direct consequence of this.
Bending Spoons acquires file transfer service WeTransfer | TechCrunch
Bending Spoons said that it will continue reserving 30% of WeTransfer’s advertising space to give back campaigns and editorial content.

After which they fired 75% of the employees. Now they are trying to milk a dying product.
Bending Spoons to lay off 75% of WeTransfer staff post deal, CEO says
Ferrari said "I won't be more specific at this stage because the layoff hasn't been fully defined yet," in an emailed statement to Reuters. The Italy-based app company made its fifth acquisition this year when it bought WeTransfer in July. Bending Spoons in February raised $155 million through a capital increase, taking the company's valuation to $2.55 billion.

no, it doesn't. but when you support the platform that's actively eroding privacy worldwide you lose the ability to complain.
you can't change a company by giving them exactly what they want.
that's like complaining to an attacker as they murder you but not fight back.
there are zero reasons to continue supporting big tech, they are clearly attempting to circumvent democracy worldwide.

You're right it makes no sense in the age of the hypocrite. It feels very unfair to judge people by the choices they make.

FB t&c basically say that, yes... But saying another free service is stealing their data on facebook when meta has already done that is the irony
