Why did you expect anything else from either company? By profile they really mean data. Every company out there offering free services is after your data and it definitely belongs to them since they have the context for it. Your name and number and interests by themselves don't mean anything but put a context around it and that is what belongs to them.

Google makes it easier on all of their services to download your data. Including the phone numbers and emails of your own contacts.

That quote is not in the context you're putting it -- the original comment meant that your profile belongs to Facebook and you can't move it easily.

I really hope that was a troll and not a Facebook employee.

No it doesn't. By law your data belongs to you and you're granting them the privilege of using it.
