Some FB users stated after having downloaded a copy of their FB account data that they found
whole SMS content as well as phone calls recorded since years...
As there are some examples - they will be posted here.

The mere fact that Facebook allowed so much nominally private data to leak to third parties would be embarrassing enough. The larger concern for Facebook is that the company signed a deal with the Federal Trade Commission in 2011 that was specifically focused on enforcing user privacy settings. Two former FTC officials told The Washington Post this week that allowing user data to be disclosed to third parties may have violated the terms of that 2011 agreement, which could potentially expose Facebook to large fines.
years ago individuals who were stalkers downloaded an app that turns on someone's smartphone's mic and camera and they could hear what was being said and see what the camera shows. This is people with zero tech skills and some were arrested by police for stalking.
Not only could the content of calls be recorded but also voice of what is happening in the room and the location and the time.
Of am only speaking of technical capability not what some company might or might not have done.
The collecting and sharing of information as a social good is almost an article of faith among many in the technology industry. And it did sound good. Zuckerberg is being honest when he calls Facebook an "idealistic company." He does believe in it. He also has made some money with it, which is not bad in itself.
But it really is not that they simply "didn't focus enough" on safeguarding the information they collected -- they didn't really understand who it belongs to, and that having the users click on "I Accept" to a long End User License Agreement, which they know that no one is going to read, is just not enough to give the company the right to do with it whatever they choose.

Anybody can scrape data with or without the website approval. If it's available on the internet without authentication it can be scrapped easily. Just like people scrape twitter I would assume that every facebook account in existence has been scrapped by at least somebody.
Well, given 'idealistic' and 'opportunistic' are practically antonyms, this would make for a very good politics piece, à la Bill Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"
