Do they abide by the policy now, or when you signed up? Do they have the right to use information you posted in a manner that was in effect when a certain policy was in place?

I think you are missing his point. The only information they can share is information you put up there. If you don't post anything, there is nothing to give. For example, the only personal information I have on Facebook is my name. No phone numbers, no address, no birthday. Nothing. So what is the risk? Maybe they can sell my bejewelled high score?
Granted the risks are great if you are reckless with your personal information, but the media has once again done a wonderful job of selling crap to the ignorant.
