Sigh, all those sources are talking about API access, not packaging up a tarball of their user database and shipping it off. Some of those links are just speculation about early ideas of charging for API access.
In either case, the model for having API access was that the end user would get a nice clear permissions dialog telling them what info they were giving to the third party and having them click "I Agree" before any data was transferred.
Even better, in the case of the device partnerships, you had to login with your FB username and password!
Those articles are the equivalent of saying Apple shares data with Google because iMail can open your Gmail account
