Or, people can get angry and say "Hey Facebook that is shitty behavior, I reserve the right to go elsewhere.", and otherwise bitch to everybody and make news about it. In which Facebook can decide to stay with their course, or they can decide to back down. Just because you want to act passive aggressive about the situation, doesn't mean that is the best solution to the problem. A little bit of aggression can keep companies more in line. I cannot imagine a world where people just took whatever they were given silently. I do believe it would look something like slavery.
A. You are right. Of course you can complain, you can do whatever you want. It is not the complaining that I am talking about, it is the way in which people act when they do. "They can't do this, bla bla bla, omg our privacy, bla bla bla". Instead of going at it like "Hey Facebook, that is bullshit, I won't use your site anymore if you do bla bla bla, privacy issue, bla bla."
Also, it is a bit ignorant and misplaced to suggest that slavery existed because people were just 'taking what they were given' and then link this to something as futile as a website.
