I'm in the "facebook should have less power" - camp and I'm not worried about those 3rd parties if they are not unified. The amount of 3rd parties does not matter at all.

I'm not afraid that I do something stupid and people find out. I'm afraid that I don't do anything stupid, but facebook makes it look like I did. They have authority a distributed system could never have.

Also I'm not worried about someone who sells pruning shears could mine my data and find out that I like pruning shears. I'm worried that facebook only shows me adds of shitty pruning shears of certain companies. Who happen to be drinking buddies with facebook executives.

You can say that these are delusional things to worry about. But how do you draw the line when concentration of power is OK and when it's not?
