See, that's a pithy little saying that tries to be pointedly opinionated about Facebook's view of its users and I used to say the same thing... but it's not fully accurate. I chose my words carefully. Each of FB's users are supplying the data and page views that FB resells to advertisers. The problem is that the market is flooded with suppliers so we have very little individual leverage, but we do have the choice to leave the market. Done en masse, it could well change the dynamics of the equation. Still, my point is that supplier is the accurate term. Unless of course you mean to say that FB is in the business of human trafficking.. then, well... um..
