That's "just" a website? You are kidding, right?

Facebook is way more than "just" a website: - the only platform that has managed to make people share this much content - a way for businesses to advertise and thus make more money - the maintainer of amazing open source projects such as HHVM or React.JS

I don't think Facebook is perfect. But focusing on the privacy concerns to say Facebook sucks is just wrong. If you're concerned with your privacy, simply don't sign up on Facebook or don't share private content.

According to Wikipedia [1], Facebook makes 7.8$B and has a net profit of 1.5$B. If Facebook gave 90% back to its user base, no way it could survive with the level of quality they provide (accessibility, technical reliabilty, etc).
