I'm just wondering if CCP had insider info on this back when they originally "decided" to go with OR ??

Probably a typo, but it's $20 Billion.

I was looking fruitlessly for a jpg of the Harkonnen Mentat lackey in Lynch's Dune with the eyes sewn shut......oh well.

I found info about the recent lawsuit over the sale of information, but I couldn't find anything stating that they actually admitted anything. If they really have, that would be gold.

Do with it what you will. Disappointing; that article is over a year old, and it's the same thing that's been repeated for some time, so it's not exactly recent. Nowhere in it did I see any Facebook representatives admit wrongfully selling personal information, either.
There are no laws making it "wrongful" at all. It's just a policy change (to not do it) they themselves made after people got upset.
You are digging where there is nothing to find.

What makes it wrongful is selling the information of those who have specifically opted out of allowing Facebook to do so. And yes, this is illegal; telling your customers one thing (your information will not be shared if you tell us you don't want us to), and then doing the opposite (sharing it anyway without their permission) is a problem. They have done this in the past; I was hoping for a similar recent incident to show that they are repeating past performance.
Welp, the NSA has it all anyway, so what does it matter ?
