You're only quoting one part. He addresses that in the quote above. It's the opposite of what you're saying.
I don't agree. He's saying two things. One is that others will abuse FB; that's reasonable. Other is that FB is using questionable practices.
What is there to "admit"? Its a piece of code running on a smartphone. Any moderately skilled engineer can figure out what its doing.
So there's nothing to admit as long as moderately skilled expert can eventually figure it out? That's an interesting perspective. Since a moderately skilled portfolio manager could figure out that Madoff was running a scam[1], there was also nothing for the latter to admit? If there was, what's the difference?
Regarding it being up to someone's view on privacy, that's true - and we're discussing his views on privacy, and he says it's questionable.
As for your whole argument that an admittedly questionable action is clearly not immoral, I'm at a loss. Clearly we're using different dictionaries, because all of mine associate the word is dubious morality.
