These are all great arguments for why Facebook's current model can never be a good way to run a social network. We need tools for people to build their own networks and make their own decisions, not a centralized network where all the decisions for the entire world are made by a small team in California.

Some of the value of a network comes from everyone else being on it. The term for this is even literally called "network effect".
