While I haven't looked into facebook policy, I expect that what is collected and shared is documented somewhere and that there are options to opt-out of certain data collection modes. Users may be oblivious to this policy, but that's just humans being human. Also, facebook can stand up to authoritative requests for data because it is well funded and has a deep legal team. I doubt any #gnusocial site could stand up to an authoritative request for data. At least indy doesn't record ip addresses.
