Fair enough - these statements are very open to interpretation.
The way I view them is to try to take an approach that a lawyer would. Could a lawyer try to argue that they process the data and generate an artifact that is passed to facebook, and that is fine because they are not passing the content? I think a lawyer could and would fancy their chances. And anyway, who's going to take them to court?
Do you recollect all the kerfuffle about the NSA collecting meta-data not the actual content? I think what I'm suggesting is akin to that already existent process.
