I think they've been willfully ignoring the likelihood that this sort of data exfiltration has been happening on a very widespread level for years. Many of those 800,000 "quiz" apps are likely designed for this purpose, and their proliferation should've set off warning bells inside Facebook - it did outside.
Zuckerberg's being out there acting like this was all an unforeseeable, shocking, limited-scope issue is disturbing to me.
