You misunderstand. They copied the literal image from facebooks computers to their own to train with.
And that may be permitted under fair use. It is not yet settled law in the US.

If this site is going to rely on archiving sites to allow people to read articles, perhaps you should just post the archive link to begin with.

Find another source.
