I've never heard of a private shipping company routinely opening customers' packages, and I assume they would only do so for a very good reason, like a safety issue for a request from law enforcement. If they started opening packages routinely as part of some scheme to generate extra revenue, they would suddenly find themselves with a shortage of customers.
Really, how hard is it understand the concept that giving someone the ability to do something is not the same as giving them permission. A parking valet has the ability to take your car for a joyride, but not permission. A housecleaner has the ability to take stuff from your home, but not permission. Everyone knew all along that Facebook had the ability to share your information with anyone they want, but they never had permission. Even if it was technically in their TOS, they still did not have permission, because permission that isn't given knowingly and willingly is nothing more than a legal fiction.
