That's just not how it works

Actually, that is how it works. Unless there is an NDA in place between you and I, I can share anything you choose to share with me, especially in the context of a social network where we both agreed to and are bound by the same TOS where we authorized exactly this kind of sharing.

In what jurisdiction? That's not true in the EU (even pre-GDPR), where Facebook also operates.

My heuristic is that if they don't make it clear what jurisdiction they're talking about, they're talking about the US.
