> Who is anyone to speak for the entire world? But we still get to speak. So why then speak for the "entire world"? It would be much better phrased if some one wrote: "*in my opinion* the entire world is ... ", even this small addition of "in my opinion" makes for a much more serious discourse, I believe. From my personal experience, when I check a random sample of some of the accusations against facebook, then they all seem to be a misrepresentation of facebook... For the last part, I don't think HN is anywhere repesenatative of even the opinion of US, let alone the whole world. So not sure why you decide to mention that a lot of people on HN might agree with the op, what does it contribute to the discussion?
