It sucks that Facebook can get away with this but services like KISSMetrics and ad networks get sued for tracking users...even though that's what the goal of analytics is, whereas Facebook's job is to provide a social network that protects its users' data.

Seems like a distinction without difference. If Facebook weren't doing this on their own they would very likely be working with someone like KISSMetrics.
