Words mean things. Don't assume that because someone nitpicks a technically incorrect use of a word/term that they are shooting down the entire argument. In fact, we're often trying to help; because we do agree with you; but can't get behind what you're saying 100% because part of it is not actually correct.
I'm definitely not disputing the fact that FB is an evil entity that only cares about making profits off your personal information. But, they haven't suffered a data breach in the same way as, say, Equifax; and it seems to me that choosing to use the word "breach" here must be in an effort to get more clicks; because "breach in the Equifax sense" is what the author knows most people will assume is meant.
