Maybe a class action is possible or in the works.

Not long ago, there was a national tv ad about a class action  
again MS that extends all the way back to the 80's.  If anyone  
owned/purchased the listed MS products, you could garnish up to  
$250 (I think) for merely listing the products you "think" you  
used - and receipts were not required. For anything above that  
amount in the class action, receipts would be required.

But considering that FB is just "data", I bet they can worm  
their way around the whole debacle by citing teeny tiny non- 
liability clauses that no one bothers to read upon signing up  
with FB.
