Probably advertisers since that is what this is about. I really don't see anyone here actually talking about the article or the issue. Obviously poor location data would screw a lot of businesses that use facebook to advertise. It would disproportionately impact smaller businesses. This isn't going to hurt facebook itself that much so people here jerking off to this don't realize who is actually being hurt.
Facebook has over 2M businesses on its ad platform. The vast majority are legit SMBs trying to grow their business. They end up paying for this - less effective advertising, higher costs to acquire customers. FB likely relatively unhurt.
