If you want something from FB: its reach, you need to play by its rules, however arbitrary they may be. If you wish to change the laws of physics, go and get yourself your own planet. It is much easier in this case: just choose a different forum.

Apparently, it already makes up its own taxation laws[1]. I expect them to release their own flag, maybe a national anthem?

I would rather see them made answerable to privacy violations.
