The fact that a mainstream outlet like CNBC published something like this is sort of a news on its own. It also legitimize these issues in the eyes of average masses. Here is a short list of what author dug up:

It can recognize my face
It knows every ad topic I've ever clicked
It has a list of every company that has my contact information from the ads I've clicked
It has a list of every contact in my phone book
It knows every social event I was invited to and/or attended through Facebook
It has a log of every friend I have on Facebook and when we became friends
It knows every time I logged in
It has a copy of my timeline going back to the time I joined
It knows my major life events
It knows every video I've watched on Facebook
It has old messages
It has a copy of every photo I've ever uploaded

Facebook knows some of these things because you have unwisely given such information to FB. But compare that with what STEEM and its front ends know about you. Another terrible thing is the amount of accounts you have made and already forgotten. https://www.deseat.me can help you with that. Give the website a go. I've written about it some time ago for STEEM Hunt.
