Not that it matters what it is, but I said email accounts. I might use multiple protocols to send and receive my email messages, but it doesn't really distinguish it from the stack of protocols that Facebook is based on either.

> Are you saying that boycotting Facebook is not a solution to Facebook stepping all over privacy?

A boycott wasn't actually the suggested course of action by the OP. They made a different point: opt-out of the system to protect your own privacy. You are suggesting collective action to promote change which is quite different. As an individual, quitting facebook isn't really equivalent to a boycott.
