These things are the other way around. The older something is, the more likely it is to find a bunch of questionable choices, spaghetti code, and security holes.

The questions I have surround the "since 2012" bit. FB exists since 2004, so what happened in 2012? Was it a data dump, a careless logger, system migration, or something else?

Careless logging is the one.
