This was the contract you agreed to when you clicked the sign up button. I don't get why people are mad at Zuckerberg and not themselves!

Zuckerberg is the one with control over the terms in a contract of adhesion. A contract of adhesion that gates access to a popular tool, that people want to use and don't bother reading or understanding the terms.

Whether or not you like contracts of adhesion, Facebook is taking advantage of people. When society finds terms in contracts (especially contracts of adhesion) to be immoral, they're allowed to voice that. And sometimes that causes the law to act to void contracts or prevent parties from certain actions even with contractual connect.
