Thank you. You pretty eloquently summed up my thoughts about this entire situation. I'm sad, because Facebook runs some pretty cool open source projects. But I will no longer contribute to them if this is their attitude. It's about as far from community-oriented as I can imagine.

FB would be happy to replace the internet with Facebook. I think we've all known this for some time now. It's not their attitude, it's their entire reason for being. It's a form of totalitarianism that we don't have a word for; that's beyond most people's imagination.
It would be fitting for FB to change their motto (?) to "We're not evil either." Lol

Good joke there :)
Do you believe Google also has shown intents to be totalitarian or "be evil" ?
IMHO Google has handled their enormous power and popularity very well.
Fair Disclaimer: I must confess I'm a google user, not affiliated to them in any other way (that I know of) though :D

It's not what I believe. It's what the "data" shows. Sure you can believe the words. But it's actions that matter. And in that context "don't be evil" is comical at best.
