While the title is framed to get people's input; in the text you proclaim that the issue is not Facebook but the users. So, what you are asking is - I am convinced Facebook did not do anything wrong but prove me otherwise.
The problem with that there is no way to prove a negative. And you already have the biggest defense - "...but people shared their data willingly".
Still, here's my view on this - Facebook is designed to collect data but it also is designed to keep people engaged so that they share even more. They also make it easy for people looking to collect data.
Their whole business model is around data. So, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a leak showing Facebook specifically courting CA, just like twitter did with RT:
