I wouldn't question their ethics since Facebook isn't exactly invading your privacy, you're giving away your privacy by using them. This isn't like Lenovo or the NSA spying on you since in those instances there was a reasonable expectation of privacy. Facebook is a platform designed around you sharing as much information as possible, so it should be assumed they're tracking your location to advertise at you.

Facebook don't invade my privacy because I don't use it. However there are numerous cases where people have been caught out because Facebook was sharing information they expected to be private or limited to their friends. Yes there is an aspect of personal responsibility here, but there is also a strong aspect of basic human decency which is pretty much at odds with Facebook's business model. Good companies don't ask "what information can we get from users and how can we make money from it?" Good companies ask "what is the minimum amount of information we can collect to provide our product/service. OK, are we sure we need that much? How do we protect that information?"
