Did people really think anything they posted on FB was private?

No one with half a brain did.  The EULA tells you clearly that all content becomes the property of FB.

Facebook was operating under a consent decree and they now admit they failed to live up to their commitment.  There are consequences. Their guiding light is "Move fast and break things" which is great principle for agile coding and a terrible principle for keeping the public trust.
