Exactly. If Facebook can target ads at specific users to begin with, then how can they possibly claim they don't know where the data is or how to find it? Then how do they know the users are being targeted "correctly" or at all? It's a ridiculous argument that falls apart under any scrutiny. Their entire business model relies on them knowing how to target specific users using huge graphs of information.

Wizards know how to go exploring in the wilderness beyond an API boundary to track down particular problems. A god’s eye view of all services, all data stores, all relationships, and all flows can at best be machine generated. Only extreme zoom levels of tiny regions are of any meaning to a human reader. It’s the difference between going shopping and accounting for all the flows of goods and services in an economy.
