Money is fungible, personal data is not.

You'd think that but personal data piles up quickly and the individuals who make it up dispensary. It's a little like saying any particular dollar is unique; I suppose it is but if you get enough of them nobody cares. I think expecting Facebook to treat all of their data as if it's ITAR is unfortunately unrealistic, we're not all that unique or special and if you use the internet your data has already been leaked or is otherwise public
Ha! “Fungible” is the word I settled on, too.
