#2„Swedish Radio News reporters have tested the tip-form on ECPAT's website and found that their name, email and telephone numbers were shared with Facebook.“
How the hell does this just happen? Have people forgotten how to build simple forms and just use Facebook?

Can't profiles be made private?

They probably embedded tracking pixels because PR teams wanted to have data on how many people viewed the page vs how many people actually filed a report.

Poor supervision over something like Google Tag Manager resulting in someone on the PR team adding extra stuff without being fully aware of the repercussions

100% this, the marketing team wants to have Google Tag Manager to inject random marketing scripts all across the page and management backs them up and then the development team has no insight to or no say in what actual scripts are run on a specific page.
That said: This is a GDPR nightmare and so is Google Tag Manager

#8This isn't a unique problem.
The Scottish health advice system was doing something similar.

Subresource Integrity fixes that: "hmm, must be a bug at Google's end"

The way I could imagine it happens is that they use GTM to trigger Facebook tags, for example to remarket people who have donated to ECPAT, since people who donate are likely to do so again after say a month or during Christmas so that's a perfect audience to have available for an ad campaign. But they have GTM fire FB on every single page out of convenience, since setting up rules in GTM on where to trigger it is work. The tip-off page is hosted on the same environment, so FB triggers by default.
