I agree with the EFF on this. While it is amusing to see the exchange, it is sad that FB rides on the shoulders of small merchants to defend their unethical user surveillance. I find the emotional ads they are airing in India along the same lines to be especially cringeworthy. Unfortunately, most users in India are completely unaware of or disregard data privacy, which is quite unfortunate. Data is cheap for the individual but a gold mine for companies like FB. Free isn't worth it when you end up paying many times over in other ways.
