@krapp EDIT: I said stay on topic, because some will try to go tangent to prevent meaningful discussion on the real topic. Much like politicians not answering questions. This achieves one's goal of causing FUD to keep the person/organization's brand from getting tarnished. If facebook comes out saying it's not true, will anyone really believe them, knowing their past practices? Facebook has a lot of eyeballs looking and thus influence, and so the higher-ups there now want to use it to influence others. Much like celebrities do. And they got to such position of influence using not so good tactics. Are people ok with this? My guess is not.
