Facebook's "ownership" of your data is no different from that of Yahoo! Mail, GMail, cell phone companies, landline phone companies, the postal service, Western Union, and all the other organizations people been sending messages through for hundreds of years. (Skype being P2P and encrypted might make it an exception...)
Facebook has no more or less access to/ownership of your life than your ISP and cell phone company.
