I hear you but...
This also happens in sports. Someone says something in an interview, in a social network post, in a private conversation which gets published... and what happens? Depending on offense the team may, ignore, fine, suspend or fire the person in question, outside the legal framework. That is, someone may say something insensitive or can be accused (not yet proven) to have done something unbecoming... teams often feel pressure to act extrajudicially. It's just how it is where money and the public sphere of opinion intersect.

You're right. But the ratio between number of people employed by FaceBook versus number of customer managed by FB is much greater, so I guess it makes me a tad more nervous :-)
