A) Facebook did not abuse their power in any way (at least in the case). B) The notion that the resulting action 'brought down governments' is just beyond false. Anyone involved in digital marketing knows how absurd these claims are, moreover, there are numerous other, legal, and very common practices being used all the time that are considerably more impactful. To boot: C) The suing government's actions are vindictive and biased. A commenter above posted a link to refer to the UK government's damage claims. As part of the countersuit, FB demanded that UK office (ICO) demonstrate it's objectivity in the situation (the judge agreed). So guess what happened? The government made a quick perusal of their own communications and realized they would be destroyed in scandal and moved for a quick resolution with a very small settlement. FB has good and bad attributes we have to be smart about it, this kind of 'anti information angry mob' stuff should be beneath people.
