I think they're being reasonable. Have a sense of history and of scale. Wars have been fought and millions died for issues much smaller and amounts of money much more meager. When you get to a certain size, when your actions literally affect over a billion human beings, and when there is more capital tied up in your venture than in many small nations... why on earth would you expect people to suddenly not treat you the exact same way nations are treated, up to and including armed insurrection? I don't support such a notion in Facebooks case, but I do think it would be wise for anyone dealing with numbers that big to consider history. Has a war ever been fought over the amount you are dealing with? Are you doing something a war was fought in the past to stop?
