They're going to be sorry for admitting to that when we discover that Huawei or Lenovo had been harvesting that data for other purposes.

#4How annoying Reuters included ads that redirect on mobile to pages informing me about viruses on my iPhone and an incredible huge lottery win. Too bad, it’s impossible to read the article on my phone.

#5> “Every piece of content that you share on Facebook, you own and you have complete control over who sees it and how you share it, and you can remove it at any time,”
This sentence has been bothering me because it feels like his lawyers wrote it. It's specifically worded to not include issues like this one.

What other purposes and how is it FB's problem?

That's why ad blockers are absolutely necessary. Not to scam companies out of their revenue, but because you cannot trust them in running clean ads. Fake virus alerts even are the lesser evil, delivering browser exploits or draining the battery by running crypto-miners are much worse. You read about such incidents every couple weeks...

They might be sorry for admitting this, but they have no choice -- once the clear question gets asked FB cannot hide the answer. It can lie, but it would be worse, as the lie will come out quickly and they would be in much hotter water: not only for doing something bad, but also for lying about it (effectively admitting they saw it as a bad practice). Pretending that what they did is not bad is their best option.
And of course Huawei and Lenovo will use data for other purposes -- they operate under different jurisdictions than FB. They also likely cannot keep ignore data requests for "national interests" even if they wanted to. And national interests include economic interests for sure.
