Facebook is a danger to my country and my own civil rights and democracy. I don't care what happens to them.

Funny, that's exactly what the dictators of Tunisa, Libya, and Egypt said during the Arab Spring of 2011.

Equating the concerns of a citizen over their perceived loss of civil rights with the concerns of dictators isn't really a productive approach.
If anything, it dismisses and further polarizes people.

If you replace “civil rights and democracy” with “arbitrary power” (and, as far as what both those cheering and those complaining mostly said, “Facebook” with “Twitter”), sure.
What's your point?
