Yeah, google know your home and where your workplace is but doesn't publish it to everyone.
Facebook did that with a lot of information. Plus it may change how things behave without you agreement (think of @facebook.com emails)
Google also use that data to provide a service (automatically call the navigation app to came back home at night or just give you a reminder on places you go every week). I doon't think facebook will give any kind of service other than keep my friens updated about whatever I do and wherever I go and this is frightening (not the fact that a big company has this data but the fact that everyone will know it)
It's PAINFULLY EASY to mark that information private, and to go into the Platform settings and make sure your friends "cannot bring your information with them into apps and websites".
It's two screens and takes about thirty seconds for you to control your Facebook and how much data leaves it.
Seriously guys, don't blame Facebook for your incompetence with their privacy settings.
A few years ago it was easy to blame Facebook for their privacy settings. They would make a privacy change and override your previous settings. Then the federal government stepped in and forced them to honor your explicitly chosen settings.
