"they better be damn sure they are getting the right ones." No, see, the problem is you're not in control of FB. They are still a private company and they get to do what ever they want, obviously within the confines of US Laws and, obviously, to the benefit or detriment of their company. Life is simple: If you don't agree with their practices, then you have the power to chose to stop using their services. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

People expect others not to jerk them around. They will bitch about how they've been jerked around long before they'll cut the jerk from their life. Hopefully, because said jerk will change their behaviour, in a perfect world.

There is also a lot of inertia created from using Facebook for a little while. You can't just pretend that inertia doesn't exist.
