I imagine they have to conform to those laws for their email service. And, given that they're a big company with plenty of lawyers, I have no doubt they are. However, this probably changes nothing about the core product.

Recent events in the UK make me have less confidence in the law abiding nature of large lawyered corporations. This is especially true with respect to privacy which is complex, often not in the corporation's interest, and poorly regulated.
I'll agree I sound a bit like a paranoid privacy nut here, and that there's nothing to suggest Facebook are doing anything illegal.
