Making such a warning should in no way reduce the consequences that Facebook should be forced to face for their responsibility in dragging all of us kicking and screaming to this place. That is, of course, precisely why they spoke up. Their lawyers and accountants determined that would be the least costly approach. As an aside, why do we continue to tolerate this kind of behavior from corporations? They aren't _really_ people and they don't deserve and should not be afforded the freedom to experiment with their impact on our society and our lives that real people are privileged to enjoy. Regulations and massive punitive consequences are _good_ things to ensure corporate behavior serves the public interest. And yet this has been going on for almost a century and nothing ever happens to change it? It's nothing but an evolution of the robber barons.
