Facebook's old policy: Move fast and break things.

Facebook's new policy: Move fast and deny everything.

I'm only half-joking as I was surprised to see a Facebook rebuttal so quickly after an article like this. It seems a new strategy is in place, to not let these article fester. The problem is their response is devoid of actual content, or even actual rebuttals to the main points of the NYT article. Mainly that FB does not consider these vendors as "third-parties", and that friends data is accessed even when sharing is explicitly disabled.
