Look, I hate Facebook as much as the next guy, but this breach was out of their control. Apparently it was a result of browser extensions harvesting the private information.

I'm curious to see why you think this is Facebook's negligence. There's little they can do to control a user's browser extensions.

You have a point, although we don't know the details of this attack (they haven't even disclosed the name of the extension) so I guess I'm biased against them in light of recent history. My comment was more general than this particular incident.

You have to be EU resident for that.

It's more complicated then this. The GDPR does not mention residency. According to some interpretations it's enough that you're located in the EU.
