This article might be from 2010 but this is from a discussion in 2003. It's a pretty far stretch to compare Facebook's current data policies vs. something a 19-year-old kid said.
We've all been (or still are) teenagers and have bragged to our friends about something.
Honestly, I feel like this means nothing. First off, he was only 19. That alone should make this completely pointless. I don't care who you are, you probably have said dumb things when you were younger and didn't mean those things AT ALL.
Secondly, this has absolutely no source attached to it (it's also from 2010), or more context to who the person was. It could be a best friend of his where he would feel open to saying VERY dumb (and obviously kidding) things like this. Also, without a true source cited, it could be 100% made-up.
Overall, I just think this is very terrible journalism. It probably got buried in 2012, so why waste time bringing it back to life? It's not even worth the time to over analyze to death.

This Onion video is pretty apt for this entire debacle.
