The article describes FB being stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand:
> [The FBI] is planning to aggressively harvest [publicly available] information from Facebook and Twitter [via third-party vendors].
..and on the other:
> ..the nature of the [$5 billion settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission] requires Facebook to prevent mass data gathering without consent -- whether or not the information is public or set to private.
> [FB's policy includes] a ban imposed on developers for "[using] data obtained from us to provide tools that are used for surveillance."
I'm sure an exception can be made (by legal force) to provide a FaceBook Integration platform for all interested parties. The only loser here is the public.
