And the legalities of that.
FB did a major legal smackdown on someone trying to do that.

Curious for a link to that. Facebook lets you download your own data. But if you upload that data somewhere else, they're going to sue someone?
I think it's the ability to communicate that's harder to move around, and why there's such facebook lockin. Your social network and ability to communicate with them in a public/group fashion.
