HEY! GET A ROOM, yells Facebook as it discovers IRC, slaps it in an app

Facebook has revealed its solution for allowing people to anonymously gossip with one another online: internet chat rooms.
The social network said its Rooms app for iOS lets netizens connect on shared interests and use pseudonyms in order to hide their identities from each other. Just like IRC.
Facebook and anonymous chats. Yeah sure. That will never happen. Taken directly from their privacy page: "We may share information about you within the companies and services operated by Facebook".
