Facebook is acting, people are re-acting. It's only natural that facebook should come under some scrutiny, for one they're huge, secondly they behave like a bull in a china shop with respect to other peoples privacy.

You've been a HN member for all of three months and 10 days, I think it is a little early to start accusing people here of being in some kind of conspiracy against facebook.

There also is no conspiracy against apple, google, microsoft or any other big name company or website.
