    Why is personal data being stored in GitHub repos?

      Probably not. But meta employs gitops and github then has a lot of permissions and tokens into other systems

        So they don’t practice least-access and account separation, then?

        It seems the negligence is obvious, but we just don’t know which flavour of irresponsible we’re dealing with.
