Can we please stop with the misinformation. As it stands today. Facebook has more complete APIs and is much easier to get your data from them than Google+. And don't forget that Google makes significantly more profit from its users than Facebook does.

  They probably mean this: https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=116481065103985 https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=116481065103985 It doesn't look like the Google+ APIs provide anything even slightly as comprehensive, for now. Of course, what Brin is complaining about isn't that Facebook won't give your data to _you_; it's that they've been reticent about giving it to Google.
