I think you kind of hit the nail on the head with your last sentence. You will continue to use the service for fairly meaningless tasks. It seems Facebook wants its users to use their service for more than that. So while this debacle may not make many people delete their accounts, Facebook may find its apparent goal more difficult to achieve going forward.

I hope this is true.

I've always had a very healthy mistrust of facebook, based on their past actions, and I never let facebook sync up with anything else I use (and I don't use services that only authenticate via facebook). They simply can't be trusted with anything important; not because they are incompetent, but because they have no moral compass that prevents them from screwing users over.

This is just one more reason for me to continue to silo facebook off into its own world, where it knows nothing about the rest of my life, particularly the really important stuff.

I agree. Facebook seems to have little concern about customer satisfaction. That is why I use Facebook minimally.

FBook cares very much about customer satisfaction. Those are the advertisers.

You're the product. You're inventory.
