I don't think Facebook is accidentally misusing the term. They want to redirect sympathy from the cardholders to themselves by framing the situation as if it were just a case of "buyer's remorse", when really they've intentionally built the system to incur these mistaken charges.

Most probably Facebook didn't make the games themselves. And I thought one had to be at least 13 years to use Facebook, but probably some parents are allowed younger kids access.
Average age of angry bird user was 5 the article says
Really? I thought the presence of the brand was bigger (back in the day) than that would allow for. An average age of 5 puts a pretty sharp limit on the number of 30-year-olds who can play. They're not going to be balanced out by one -20-year-old each.
"Average" in this case may refer to mode, not mean.
