we have no indication at this time that any data was improperly accessed by Meta employees

What does "no indication" mean if they record every keystroke? Did they screw up their snooping program as usual, or are they lying as usual?

also "improperly" is very vague

It means they've checked the logs and didn't find anything suspicious at first glance, but just in case they missed something they're covering their asses.

...or flat out lying in an attempt to cover it up.

It could be either, depending on how well they think they can contain this.
