In-fact their CIO (or similar position) flaunted the fact that facebook will be evil, and the masses will like it. This is why I took all my information off facebook last year, they were being evil. But as it's a social medium, like all social mediums, it has a lot of momentum, and it's difficult to make people jump ship (and maybe use e-mail, or rather reply to e-mails I send them over facebook wall posts). Recently Richard Stallman warned us about the cloud, this is only the start. Keep out of the commercial capitalist cloud and keep in control. The industry is unregulated, of course they are going to abuse user trust. I don’t think adblock stops them from being evil.

I find it interesting that some folks even seem to get offended about when I decline their invitation to join their network.
