It's super, super silly that Facebook users feel so wed to the service that they demand a say in it's governance. Sorry, that's just not even close to how it works.
Your options are restricted to playing by Facebook's rules or leaving. It's okay to leave, it doesn't hurt at all, except for the occasional impulsive typing of 'faceb' into your URL bar before you remember what life was like before Facebook, and in fact, what it is like after it.

- kijeda 14y agoI find this mentality, one I've often found in the US, disturbing. I've had the benefit of living the better part of a decade in Europe where data privacy protections are stronger, and there is a resulting expectation that companies can only do with customer-provided data what they had agreed to when it was supplied. That means only using data for the explicit purpose it was gathered and not changing or using the data for expanded purposes later. It is bizarre to me to think that one should just accept that the receiver of the data can unilaterally expand the use of it later without informed mutual agreement.
- pekk 14y agoThe 'mentality' is that if you don't like what the site is doing with data, you should leave the site and not use it. Do you use Facebook from Europe? If you are not using it, then you are probably not really disagreeing with what the parent said. I really could have done without the anti-US bigotry here, it is flamebait and not entirely related to the topic
