Share = Sell
Too many comments say something like "Facebook 'shares' data with….."
FB makes money by SELLING personal data. That's what they do to make the bulk of their money. Read the ToS and their Privacy Policy and see if you can spot the telltale sentences. Users have checked the little box and agreed so I don't see how there will be any fines levied on FB in a legal manner. I'm not saying there won't be, just that FB hasn't done anything to violate their own stated policies.
FB's problem with CA is that they didn't pay for the data and made it known where the data that they used came from.
If you are receiving a product or service for free, you are the product being sold. If you catch yourself ever uttering "but this is different" or some such, go stand in the corner for an hour and no desert for a week. You are being stupid, again.
