Such a terrible excuse. FB you only have one job! Fail.

They really do need to dig into the issue, if in fact they don't know. Because something seriously need to be excluded from their recommendation algorithm if the article is true.
Strange place.
If they are in fact sucking in contact details from users phones and using them for matching and recommendations, that would seem to be something that would be serious enough to likely require express consent (in other words: users taking an explicit action, rather than being "opted in" implicitly by agreeing to a TOS or similar) under EU data protection regulations.
Not a lawyer, but I'd be surprised if there isn't one or more data protection violations lurking in there somewhere.
