This, I think is the bigger story: "Facebook has been under fire not just for providing the means for these massive collections of data, but also the way it actively tries to promote the idea they pose minimal harm to Facebook users. An email Facebook inadvertently sent to a reporter at the Dutch publication DataNews instructed public relations people to "frame this as a broad industry issue and normalize the fact that this activity happens regularly." Facebook has also made the distinction between scraping and hacks or breaches." Facebook are incompetent to protect the data they've collected, so they want you accept criminal misuse of it.
