Facebook is a public forum. Therefore the information posted on it is public information. However, people have been posting a disclaimer on their pages stating they own the content of their page and they are NOT giving others permission to use the information on their pages to re-post. I do not believe the disclaimers will hold up to any legal review by a court. There is no expectation of privacy on facebook by definition. I believe you're probably on safe ground. Only future court decisions will tell.
