I'd rather see http://archive.is/ffjTe http://archive.is/ffjTe or even an image than to be reminded that facebook wants to be the gatekeeper of content.
I do block these pop ups when I can (ublock). But that means you want the average user (not using blacklists, not using whitelists, not even using adblockers) to be reminded that he should login so as not to feel like a criminal.
Oh wait. The average user has a facebook account and is always logged in.
I am not the average user, I am a specific person.

They are a monetized product sold to advertisers. Facebook will never act against its own interest of maximizing the size and salability of its graph network.

What I meant to say is, if we don't like the agressive behaviour of "facebook acting in its own interest to maximize the size and salability of its graph network", we shouldn't link to facebook URLs.
