That is a big door and a pretty open use case. I am not buying into "and this is actually good for the users" story. To me, FB must clearly choose how to handle this: (A) "we made a mistake, sorry; we will fix it" or (B) "this is working as designed; if you do not like it, go away". They could probably justify either case both internally and externally (better ethics vs better revenue), but trying to stand in the middle as they have often done in the past will likely backfire.
