The BP and PG&E cases were accidents. There might've been negligence but it still wasn't in their best interests to cause those accidents, and now that they happened they've got the opportunity to learn from it and hopefully not do this in the future.

The Facebook case is different. Them stalking people isn't an accident, it's the whole purpose of the company and what pays their bills. Despite seeing the negative effects of their behaviour on society and being given countless opportunities to learn and become less nasty they are continuing as if nothing happened.
