I agree, or so it at least appears. Now we will have to wait and see if the US government (and those of other countries) will actually go after Facebook. They might just do whatever they can to avoid it, either because of their own personal interests (maybe even a corrupt nature), or Facebook's reach might actively bully them out of it (away from the public eye, of course). I don't expect anyone substantial facing consequences for these actions, which says enough in its own right.

And our low expectations are part of the problem. We assume now that large corporations should be able to get away with behavior that would send anyone else to jail.
