After what Zuckerberg said to Congress, Facebook then spun that it could be adopting the new European laws on privacy and everything else as its default protection standard for the rest of the world including the US.

In his answers to Congress over Facebook’s involvement in the scandal, Mark Zuckerberg said that GDPR [new European laws on privacy and everything else] was “going to be a very positive step for the internet”. When asked whether the regulations should be applied in the US, he replied: “I think everyone in the world deserves good privacy protection.” http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-43822184

Well, we now know that that’s a lot of bull because the BBC report says

Facebook has changed its terms of service, meaning 1.5 billion members will not be protected under tough new privacy protections coming to Europe.

The move comes as the firm faces a series of questions from lawmakers and regulators around the world over its handling of personal data.

The change revolves around which users will be regulated via its European headquarters in Ireland.
Facebook said it planned clearer privacy rules worldwide.

Zukerberg can do what he likes with facebook. Nobody is forced to used facebook. Nobody has to pay a cent to use facebook. Nobody needs to disclose what they do not want to disclose to facebook. In fact nobody needs to use the internet if they choose not to.
 
People who chose to post their private information and life social media are effectively giving it away.
