Yeah, Facebook is one of the most Valley-est of Valley companies as far as "move fast and break things" since they don't care at all about their users. Securing data according to any sort of "need to know" could slow them down so they don't bother.

As far as I know they invented “move fast and break things” or are at least synonymous with it.

Yep, afaict Mark Zuckerberg coined it, and it was a Facebook company motto until around 2014. Though I can't seem to find any original sources from the time, it seems the famous quote is: "Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough."
