I fail to see the application of your analogy. The Engineers at FB should be given product direction, and should not even be making decisions as to what information to ask users for. That's for Product. Part of product management will involve legal review, risk management. Clearly, FB has a few other concerns that should be thrown in there as well. This issue basically has nothing to do with technology.

The way Facebook works is that they have all your data on their servers. That is the underlying flaw. You want to have your data, you want the people you share it with to have it, but there is no reason for Facebook to ever have it. When you share it, it should be encrypted by you and decrypted by the end recipient(s). You don't need to worry much about policies for accessing data that you shouldn't, and don't, ever actually have.
