There are many ways around FB’s privacy settings. Law enforcement can easily get around them with a warrant, but there are many other ways. Anyone of your FB ‘friends’ can copy and repost anything, for example.
Another little-known gem is that clicking ‘I Agree’ when you install a game or an app resets all kinds of privacy settings, and all you info is now up for sale to any 3rd party willing to cough up a buck or two.
I never mentioned anything about rights. I mentioned an agreement between two parties (FB and its user.) And I agree, only a fool would allow an app access to all of your FB data.
A previous poster suggested the FAA could access your private FB data. That's tinfoil hat-level paranoia.
