Why do we have radios in all our cars? So we can pipe advertising to a captive audience. Why do we have TV's in all our homes? So we can pipe advertising to a captive audience. Why do we have our computers plugged into the internet? Hm.
Why is it that when you buy a phone now it comes with Facebook (and twitter and google)? And, on many plans it's "free" to use Facebook and twitter, and you can't remove it.
It's all about the channel. Facebook/Google/Twitter + ISP/Phone Provider = secure advertising channel. Can you turn off your radio? Can you turn off your TV? Can you use a plain old cellphone that just dials a number? The only way to kill Facebook is to turn off the advertising channel.
