facebook is obsessed with getting user data and will not take NO for an answer. it is just concerned with exploiting its user base. google has done a right thing by not getting involved in this mess with facebook. facebook is an extremely unsafe platform and acts like this show that facebook can go to any extent. i have deactivated my account as well and will be switching to a safer webiste such as Diaspora or MyCube as soon as they launch

Google's point is fair and what they have done is completely right. They are just protecting their users. The fact that facebook found a hack around this shows how unethical facebook is. It shows to what length facebook can go to get user data. Users should realise this and quit facebook. I have quit facebook and am waiting for a safer social networking platform like MyCube or Diaspora to release

I see Google’s point and I agree with them. I mean, I own my data and I must have control over them on whom and where I want to share it. No websites should bar me from sharing or not sharing it to others.
