The real issue rather seems to be this:
I see why you would like it to be about something else.

And according to Facebook, the information was gathered "in legitimate way and through the proper channels".
And just because it might have given Trump some small advantage in his epic defeat of Hillary, certain people are, of course, crying foul.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Emphasis mine.
Are you ready to take a real debate instead of misrepresenting it? So far you have said quite a lot that every reader can easily see is wrong if they read the article.

What's most interesting is that Facebook is in a Catch-22: they are actively anti-Trump, but if they press on this issue then they could be on the hook for breaking federal law.

The real problem is not a "data breach" it is people willingly giving away their private information in return for playing idiotic personality tests or stupid games on facebook and then crying about it later. People never read the fine print when they play these stupid games, it says right there that by playing the game or test you give them permission to access your profile, friends, and other information.
It used to be people were afraid of "Big Brother" spying on them, yet now they just give away their information. And they post everything on facebook to "public" because they want to get more "likes" and "shares" but when you do that, you are giving everyone access to your page and information too. I work at a law firm and one of the first things a law firm does when there is a case is gather a person's public social media. Everything they post public on facebook, instagram, twitter, etc gets captured. People are stupid. Lock down your social media and don't play games on facebook unless you trust the company with your information.
That's the lesson to be learned here.
