You can't "buy" data from FB (unless you're referring to a local state PD getting a warrant). FB sells access to ad units, not the data itself.

I guess you've forgotten about the thousands of Facebook "partners" who paid money for access to people's private information.

They didn't. FB used have a more open API (Which HN and other developer communities clamored for), that meant if you you had an app you could see your users contact lists through FB. They shut this off in
2008
