OH MAN. No, no, no. This is like saying, "Nobody is FORCING you to have a mailing address, if you don't like the Postal Service, just don't have an address!"

OH MAN. No, no, no. This is like saying, "Nobody is FORCING you to have a mailing address, if you don't like the Postal Service, just don't have an address!" Sure, you CAN do so, but if you do, you forego significant opportunities and can't make use of critical infrastructure if you do- and indeed in that example, there are places it literally is illegal not to have an address. Facebook is approaching that level of ubiquity and 'expectedness' in the U.S., at least. Please, please, please don't try to enforce the 'take it or leave it' mentality for ubiquitous software services. It is every person's right, privilege, and DUTY to complain vociferously when companies are stupid and implement stupid rules- hopefully resulting in the clarifying, changing, or removing of said stupid rules.
