...should be illegal. This really torques me. This smacks of how AT&T acted in the 80's when I was in my 20's and starting out on my own and how Microsoft acted in the 90's before they got busted, which is what lead me to Linux.

- pritambaral 12y agoExcept Facebook's customers use Facebook to access Facebook's data. Comcast's customers use Comcast to access the internet's data, not Comcast's data. At least until the definition of Internet Service Provider is changed.
- rayiner 12y agoNot to the extent that Facebook is a platform for other services (Zynga, etc).
