My premise is that once Facebook's assessment of the net present value of exclusive use of its data is less than a willing buyer's assessment, the likelihood of a sale is significant (it is also a premise that this also holds for Google).
A second premise is that companies which own data may have that data acquired through dissolution, merger, or acquisition; and that in such circumstances the asset may be monetized differently than it is currently.
This may be pessimistic, but betting on the benevolence of corporations is not supported by history.
