Care to fill in the logical leap from your second to third lines?

I think that third line was probably more of an "impotent howl into the void in futile pursuit of catharsis" kind of comment than an "attempting to advance the cause of mutual human understanding" kind of comment.

In this day and age I think we can let it slide.

Possibly something like "Corporations can get away with anything because they run the country and there's no turning back."

Just a guess.

Facebook didn't break the law. So I'm not sure what people mean when they say "get away with anything."
The FTC disagrees with you. But maybe you know better?
I'm not American but isn't that court's decision to make, not FTC's or dreamdu5t's? Also, wouldn't Facebook's actions rather constitute a breach of contract with their users? Which would mean that users can sue regardless of FTC's decisions?
