Personally quite shocked that anyone in this community would endorse FBs behaviour in general by being users.

A closed version of the internet controlled by a corporation? We should be yelling from the rooftops not nitpicking things like this story

I keep it for family. It does allow me to connect with relatives I otherwise wouldn't hear from. However, I've deleted my Facebook before (for over a year even), and I'm waiting for a good time to wipe mine officially. I'll lose touch with a lot of relatives is the downside. Facebook makes it almost effortless to communicate with family.
