It is a very valid complaint and becomes even more valid as Facebook is scrutinized even further. Zuckerberg's EU hearing was a rather good indicator of where this is heading when MEP's specifically singled out: - Facebook's business practices in general, the MEP's do not believe that what Facebook is doing can be done in the same way while respecting users privacy. Thus they kept asking how Facebook is planning to monetize it's service in the future while respecting their user's data. - Having Facebook admit to its monopoly position in the EU by asking Zuckerberg for any Facebook competition he knows of, in the EU. There's also this whole issue with Facebook simply slurping up WhatsApp, and all its user's data, even tho WhatsApp users never consented to any of that. I made a point of never giving Facebook my mobile number, a point that's made completely irrelevant when Facebook just throws money around to get any data they want complete with some manufactured opt-out consent.
