I think I'm misreading your argument because it seems to me like you're saying: "There are rules and if I don't publicly flaunt those rules like I did in the past, everything is ok?"

Don't you understand that the argument: "You're only guilty if you get caught" doesn't really resonate with most of the public? Whether or not FB talks to the FTC about certain issues has nothing to do with them breaking rules. This is not how the law works.

For example, I could call the police and inform them I was breaking into a house. I would probably get stopped and get arrested. The second time, I think to not inform the police about me breaking into a house. Does not informing the police mean I wouldn't be committing a crime? No, it doesn't.

I'm open to a discussion if you think the rules are too strict.
