> I'd argue as a general rule that there are no important websites that require Facebook to access your account.

Many local governments, for example, use Facebook and no other mechanism nowadays.

I don't agree with this but that is reality. Until you change reality, you have to deal with it.

I'm in the Philippines, and the local electric co-op does not have its own domain, but a Facebook Page. You cannot find out who to contact without the information on this page. Essentially a public utility prefers to use Facebook than to spend time and money developing their own site.

Now, this is bad for many reasons, but the point is in many parts of the developed world, people do think of Facebook as the internet.

This makes me think Facebook and alike websites should be legally forced to randomly blackout particular countries for months once a year so people would learn to avoid relying on them.
