You're still giving all of that information out. Or your device is, but that's still under your control and thus you're the one giving it out.

>It's being referred to as spyware because most users aren't aware that Facebook does this, and wouldn't have agreed to it had they been offered a choice.

Then they need to control their data better. Facebook is an easy target because they do all of this in the open. There are probably untold number of bots online that vacuum up this information and you'll never ever know about it and legislation will never stop it because it's running on some server in China or something.
