Under other circumstances, yes perhaps. But in the case of a Facebook, with their complete disregard for privacy and search for more and more ways to collect data, this seems like an explicit feature implementation.

Complete? Aren’t you exaggerating?

There were hundreds much worse leaks than any Facebook leak. Any credit card leak is much worse. But Facebook is an easy hatred target.

Nothing bad really happened as result of these leaks. Nobody harmed, nobody lost money, and don’t start again on that CA story which happened and fixed several years before you learned about it.
