'people didn't consent to Facebook collecting their data on them'
To add to that and the point about 'don't understand when people call Facebook a Stasi'. See this ruling today. The data was sold to Experian. So, will this info make it to Facebook ultimately? Seems likely as Experian / Facebook are data partners. More unintended consequences of data sharing.
