Not defending (or critiquing) FB's action here. But the original posting presents a very muddled telling of what FB actually did: Today Facebook ordered me to dismantle a not-for-proft webapp that I created several weeks ago. The firm’s legal counsel sent me a cease and desist email this afternoon, insinuating that Facebook could fine me $100,000. If you take a minute to actually read the letter that was sent by FB's counsel, it's pretty clear that: (1) they aren't telling him to "dismantle" his webapp. They're just saying he can't use "Facebook" in the domain name he chose for that app. This is something very different. (2) they also aren't threatening that they (FB) will directly "fine" him for anything. What they're doing is pointing out that under certain applicable laws, he can (in their view) be subject to certain penalties (payable to the state, presumably -- not too Facebook). Again, something very, very different.
