    In regards to: > It's his company, and he can do what he wants. In any country, this is of course only true to the extent that he follows the applicable laws. In Europe, these laws are increasingly including provisions about data privacy. Therefore Facebook's attitude towards data privacy is not solely up to him, but also restrained by the democratic process. How effective this will be remains to be seen, admittedly.

      So far, laws that have tried to rein in software and the persons using them have been laughably impotent. Take Hadopi for instance. The legal profession and the people elected to the government are light years behind the current tech development. My post was partly sarcastic, but I was trying to illustrate just how little the opinions of 95% matter to "winners", i.e. powerful magnates and people who own entire industries.
