Careless programmers don't compile dossiers on over 200M American citizens just for funsies.

Not sure I understand your response. I wouldn't describe Facebook's security processes as "careless", nor would I describe their vast and complete data collection as "for funsies"

I think their point is that there are thousands of programmers who handle this data on a daily basis as part of their job - intentionally limiting the scope to "funsies" is ignoring that.
