By limiting their use of personal data, according to the law? And by requesting informed consent from users, instead of silently opting them into all their anti-privacy features? And by not hiding this two thirds of the way through a 100 page TOS?

It's not like it's impossible to make a good faith attempt at all those things. Facebook isn't even trying.

When they make a good faith attempt, and get sued out of existance, you may have a point. They haven't, though.
