I'm more than a little concerned that this is not the default answer to this question. While Nest certainly shared blame in choosing FB as their partner in advertising, I think the real problem is the FB only cares about advertising.

I'm amazed at the number of people that I hear complain about this stuff and yet keep using FB as if it is essential. For instance, add your cell # to your account to confirm developer status and then turn off notices. You will still receive texts from FB because they don't give a damn.

For the life of me, why people willingly give so much of their information to a company who clearly does not care about privacy is beyond me.

Why wouldn't Nest advertise to friends of people who like (and possibly own) Nest? If you were installed as their chief marketing officer, where would you advertise the thermostat?
