Please don't start a profile analysis flamewar. It just escalates and makes everyone unhappy.
I think it's OK if people notice you work at Facebook. There are people on HN that like to attack anyone nice enough to engage with them just because they work at a big company. I worked at Google for many years, and people were off to blame me personally for every decision that Google made that they didn't like. My approach was to just say, look, the CEO didn't ask me, and if they did I would have said no. If you have concerns with something I actually work on, I'd love to adjust it based on your feedback. (That was network monitoring for Google Fiber, and wasn't very controversial. But, HN loves to lay in to you if you open yourself up for it. I learned a lot about people.)
In this case, I think the best you can do is to say "I don't think it's possible to add fingerprinting, and if it were, I would fight to not add it. I also don't know of any decision to add fingerprinting, and like I said, I would try to make sure we didn't do it." (Or if you're in favor and it's not technically possible, you could say that too!)
Anyway, it is really nice to hear from people "in the trenches". Please don't let people being toxic scare you away or bait you into a flamewar. Comments like yours remind us that even in these big companies whose political decision we may not like, there are still people doing really good engineering, and that's always fun to hear about.
To be clear, I wasn't intending to come across as attacking voz, only pointing out that I don't think anyone "in the know" at Meta/Facebook would admit to it even if they were doing it, so hearing "This is nonsense." doesn't really tell anybody much. They would likely say the same thing whether they thought it was nonsense or not.
No, they would likely not say anything. Explicitly denying it is saying something. But also - just to backup your claim how do you fingerprint a model? It seems logically impossible to me, if you are trying to mimic a certain intelligence, and you specifically "unmimic" it... then you may as well not try.
