    I hope they get Facebook by the balls for this. I know that Facebook has data about me withou my consent - it asks users to basically upload their addressbooks to “find friends”, and people who have my data in their addressbook are on Facebook. And I don’t believe that if the Facebook algorithm does not find a match for an address book entry immediately just deletes that entry. Heck, even that matching violates my rights to my data.
