Reversing the charges doesn’t work with Facebook because they will block your account and for most people that’s not an option. And Americans Express is not going to fine Facebook or suspend their merchant account. That’s for small merchants.

Why do people put their cards on Facebook then? It is absolutely not safe to do, especially if you have (young) children.
I doubt even a company like Facebook is very big by credit card processing standards. Visa and Mastercard constantly run a huge amount of money through their systems. If your fraud rate goes above a certain level they give you a warning. If it stays too high they'll cut you off.
Yeah, a company that stored your credit card number and charged it w/o your permission - don't want to get blocked by someone like that. Definitely never an option for most people.
