I may be a prude for not having added any "extra" facebook apps since I registered back in 2005. I always found myself outdated but still refused to accept friends' request for quizes, games, buttons etc. Now, I am not as embarrassed after

That makes sense.. so it boils down to the ban on "exclusivity" - if it wasn't for that, then for sure there is no net neutrality.But even with that in there, I am sure it won't be difficult to find a conflict of interest given enough time
