OK, first, you claim facebook will suffer a mass exodus, but those 4 groups you point out only have a total of 2000 people combined. And with facebook user’s histories of claiming things like they’ll leave and not doing it (which has happened many times, including the whole thing with the news feed, and then the tracking thing, etc), I’d say that argument is pretty much moot.

The other thing is, you are comparing Facebook to Greenpeace? Are you kidding? Facebook is just as much of an “evil corporation” as the rest of them. The amount of advertising, spying, and selling of information on that site is horrendous. To claim they are a good guy is simply bonkers. And Facebook users couldn’t give half a shit about who owns them or what their “rules” are. They just want to poke their virtual friends and posting more pictures of them at parties.

Facebook is big business these days, it has strict rules, and it is close sourced.

I fail to see what the fuss is about. Facebook has the most whiny users in the world everything they do gets like 1 million people up in arms bitching about the change, luckily for them there is the other 100 million that don’t give a fuck and will still be there for the 2 hours the first million avoid the site in protest. I say 2 hours because they always come back 2 hours later after “quitting for lyfe y0″ because they need Facebook now.
