Again, I think I was quite clear on that: I don't care. I'm not using Tor to hide anything from Facebook, and I'm quite aware that any data Facebook can touch is recorded and I assume it is or will be published. That's not acceptable to everyone but it's fine for me in many cases.
Even here, Tor helps because when you login to Facebook via the hidden service, and then create a New Identity and continue browsing other sites, Facebook can no longer associate my general web surfing with my Facebook account, so suddenly I am in control of what data I provide to Facebook rather than Facebook collecting anything and everything they can. If you have a different threat model, that's fine, use Tor and the internet appropriate to your needs.
