Sorry but I think you're being too hard on yourself, while also being inappropriately diplomatic toward Facebook. I mean, crimes happen all the time. I'm a criminal, I speed sometimes, I often jaywalk. I would say they are malicious, and have forfeited whatever position as a trustee of data that people have ever granted them. What do you do with a trustee who puts their interest before the beneficiary? Of course, you fire them. But indeed who is the beneficiary? At least in their public vernacular it's the user, even though more well read individuals know the beneficiary is the trustee, one in the same.
Facebook is perhaps not out of the ordinary really, it's just another of a variety of businesses who have come to realize they hate having users. They just need their data. Vampires don't want human friends either, they just need their blood.
