You don't have to be paranoid about Facebook's intent to realize that it's a huge storehouse of personal data. Nobody with a brain thinks that Facebook strategizes every morning about how to collect the most data for intelligence agencies. However, a side effect of their business model makes it an unprecedented treasure trove of data about hundreds of millions of people and their relationships/interactions with each other.

I disagree, and I don't think I've forgotten my brain somewhere. Why I disagree? Because facebook, for all intents and purposes, is an intelligence agency. Doesn't mean that they welcome other agencies having a look at their data, but it certainly is more than a side effect.
