Hang on. The whole chain of reasoning started with FB protecting users' interests through the permission system, which NYU ostensibly circumvented. How is it in the users' interests to indemnify Facebook?

If NYU internalizes the cost of all breaches (by indemnifying FB against harm), they will be very careful with the data, and prevent another Cambridge Analytica problem.
