This is actually a much better reason for boycotting than taking on some quixotic initiative based solely on principle (however honorable that may be):

For a company whose business models rely on leveraging social network dynamics to sell more ads, it seems welcomingly ironic that FB should be labeled the social pariah, if even for a short moment in time.
