I happily use Facebook (as does almost everyone I know). I don't consider myself a lab rat, and think it's kind of an offensive way to view your fellow humans in general. You don't need to be so morally outraged on my behalf - Facebook provides a product that I love using, and I use it, with the understanding that they get advertising money out of it. I'm fine with that transaction, as are most people. You don't have some secret knowledge that I don't have (I imagine) - I know the same things as you, and yet I decide that for myself, using FB is worth the tradeoff of the privacy/advertisements vs. the product itself. The same as when I decide to eat ice cream, even though it's bad for me. Do you want to put ice cream makers in prison too on my behalf?
