It's data about me being shared with someone I didn't want it to be shared with without my consent. As such, it's a really big deal to me. It's also a really big deal that one can't protect (him|her)self from such data being shared with Facebook. That's why I've compared them with Equifax from a moral standpoint, since the parent comment specifically mentioned Facebook and LinkedIn as an opposition to what Equifax was doing. Whether or not they do provide some benefit to actual Facebook users is completely irrelevant.
