12.5m users is pretty impressive considering what they're up against.
Facebook is vulnerable. The obvious way to hijack is to pull a Facebook on Facebook itself -- ask for your FB password and then copy out all your information, and msg all your friends.
If you could click a button and do a horizontal transfer to an equivalent service any time some other service crossed the line of what's acceptable to you, people would migrate in droves. Big companies survive because of inertia -- the truly disruptive technology that the Net should enable is to remove it.

Facebook's evil ways will doom it.
