You could, however, with some trouble, check which data is going where on your own device, as long as that API isn't meant for direct connection between FB servers and those of a third party.
They sniffed the network access of the Blackberry as they logged into Facebook via the built-in support, saw it pulling down a bunch of information direct from Facebook to the local device and nothing else, and wrote it up as though it were somehow scandalous and a breach of privacy that Facebook didn't see this as giving a third party access to that information. They didn't let the fact that they knew the third party wasn't receiving that data get in the way of fearmongering then, and I doubt they would here either.
