Facebook says that some of your personal data belongs to them, not you

European laws allow people to demand that Facebook hand over everything it knows about them, and that the amount of data they know in one case amounted to 800 pages of personal data. 

Now it turns out that there are gaps in what was provided. When pressed, Facebook flat-out claims that certain aspects of your personal data uploaded to or entered on Facebook is a trade secret or intellectual property of Facebook. You can't see your own information, because it's theirs.
