I took time to word what I said, to match what I mean. It seems that what you read, were ones that you seem to have injected in.
It would be nice to know exactly what precautions are taken to prevent access from insiders. You may work for FB, but is storage or backups part of your role? Not that I think you have to be, how would I know as an outsider. Maybe as a developer you know how things are setup, and how well people adhere to policies.
And I'm curious, what are those? If users' data is taken seriously then wouldn't they make difficult to prevent casual snooping across the database? So that even if you had root access you couldn't get to it as an insider?
Probably not. The data is meant to feed an ad/marketing machine so, how locked down could the data be internally?
I don't expect these questions to be answered, but just throwing them out there in an attempt to reason things out.
