From tracking my movements across the web to forever keeping my data to giving my information to the government, I am content with Facebook using my data. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have registered with the site. I collect data user data in my own iOS apps, and I understand its importance.

However, I disagree with Facebook profiting off of user’s posts, without compensation or the user’s consent. One man, who jokingly shared Amazon’s deal for a 55 gallon barrel of lubricant, soon saw his post on news feeds across the web. This man received no compensation, nor did he approve of his post being shared.
