> People know that (facebook|their partner) is abusing them (privacy-wise|physically) and they choose to continue the relationship. Really bad comparison there

  Well, I don't mean to compare those two very different situations, but that does happen with victims of domestic violence. Many times they choose to remain in the relationship, and out of fear and desperation, they hope things will change, and they rationalize that whatever is happening is partially their fault or not that serious. And many times that ends with the death of a domestic violence victim.

  You're hopelessly naive if you think that doesn't happen all the time with domestic violence. It's the rule, not the exception.

    That's my point. Domestic violence shouldn't be equaled with Facebook's abuses. Causes, consequences, objectives and methods of entrapment are too much different. I have experienced domestic violence first-hand and I cringed when I read the word "choose" when describing the situation.
