It's not revolutionary to say that asking for user passwords is stupid and dangerous. Nothing good will come from giving your email account password to Facebook (or any company). It's also a basic human rights violation. We all have a right to our passwords. We do not have to share them with organizations seeking to exploit us and our information. It's just basic common sense, not revolutionary.

To clarify: nothing good for you. Ignoring ethical issues, Facebook certainly benefits.

It's "revolutionary" to try and defy your bosses who tell you what code to write. Get back to your keyboard, serf.

When someone still works for such a company after an announcement this, they are part of the problem!
