Facebook is the scum of the earth, but you don't HAVE to use Facebook. If you don't like their terms don't use it. I can see a case where you must be allowed to end the contract with Facebook and have them delete your data or whatever, but I can not figure out why people think that Facebook is some publicly owned entity. Should I be able to go to my neighbors house and say they don't get to set the rules on the tools I borrow from them? Their my neighbors tools, they don't even have to let me use them. Facebook isn't paywalling privacy unless they are actively spying on you without you using their products, which would be a completely different situation. Or if they were outright lying to you about what data they collect and what they do with it, again though completely different situation. They are paywalling their product, you know, like how walmart "paywalls" milk.
