Facebook sucks, it's a fact. Privacy is a building block for freedom and being robbed of the ability of being free sucks. Say you have a friend anywhere on earth but he/she doesn't have a facebook account, how exactly is facebook helping you staying in touch with this friend ?

Everything you wrongly attribute to facebook is actually made possible by this thing called Internet and was being done long before facebook. The only thing facebook achieved (through unethical and dubious means) is to capture and keep captive a large proportion of internet users. Which is sad as facebook is pushing hard towards the destruction of the internet and is having some success in it (contrary to microsoft who tried the same during the 90's)
