Would any cloud-hosted analytics be acceptable? Is it just Facebook that’s problematic? What if they switched from client-side analytics to server-side so you couldn’t detect it all? Would that be any better? The bottom line is when you use a service, that data is their data to send to whomever they want.

No.
That's all that really needs to be said about it but I'll add a couple of more lines here so no one thinks I'm lazy or posting a shallow dismissal:
- First, just because someone trusts you it doesn't mean you are free to abuse them. This should go without saying!
- Second: In Europe and I think California as well this is also illegal.
