while we have no indication at this time that any data was improperly accessed by Meta employees, we’re pausing it while we investigate

So why are you pausing it again?

    we’re pausing it while we investigate

    It's literally right there in your own quote...because they are still investigating this.

    And what are they investigating?

    That seems pretty obvious no? Whether or not people that shouldn't have had access to this data have accessed it. Even if they have the data showing whether or not it happened, it still takes time to go through it because they collect insane amounts on their employees.

    WHY WOULD THEY INVESTIGATE SOMETHING THEY HAVE "NO INDICATION" HAPPENED!?

    Because the best way to find any such indications is to keep looking for them in all possible places? Yes they should have added "yet." But investigating while attempting to reassure is standard practice in crises

    They have no indication at this time, which means that they're not done looking but so far haven't found anything.

    It's just corporate doublespeak messing with your head. The normal person translation is:

    oh fuck something might have happened. But we don't want shareholders to panic. Uhh, so everyone, please pretend everything is fine.
