The consequences of using a store loyalty card are not known to the general public either. Yet all transactional information is sold off to third party data brokers and aggregated into profiles where they keep track of you in minute detail. It isn't exactly fair that Facebook is going to be punished while the rest of the industry hides behind its fine print.

I agree with you, but FB has been pretty blatant about how they misuse their user's data. If you are the biggest and most obvious, then you will probably be the first one targeted.
