What bothers me most about the campaign is that Facebook has easy access to a large number of people and is using it to influence government policy. A large number of people login to Facebook and read only Facebook's side of the argument. The critics have to work through a variety of media outlets available to them ( including Facebook ) to get their word out.

This is too much power for one private company. I just hope that projects like diaspora can take off.

Would be awesome to see a mass exodus from Facebook. It's already passed its peak anyway, with many US teenagers using different, non-Facebook-owned networks and apps.
