No.

Facebook is an online service. They are not the only online social network website. If you choose to use their services, you have to agree to their terms and conditions.

If you don’t want your private information exposed to the world, and sold to the highest paying company, sign up for some other social networking site that doesn’t invade your privacy.

My concern is that Facebook uses facial recognition technology. I don’t use Facebook, though my wife does and there are pictures of us in her FB profile. I didn’t sign their terms and conditions. I should have the right to know what data has been collected about me, even though I’m not a user. The only way to do that now is to sign up and create a Facebook account. That’s BS.

The difference is considering FB owns more than 50% of the market they are in, they are subject to Anti-Trust laws.
This is what keeps a company from buying up all their competitors.

This is why Intel couldn’t simply get rid of its competitors by buying them up.
Anti-Trust laws prevents it.

Right now, the internet is using FB to ID users of other websites. Most dating sites require a FB account.

This already goes way beyond their original charter and heads very quickly to something similar to a Internet Gatekeeper.

Facebook knows it is vulnerable to Anti-Trust right now as every executive in Silicon Valley is required to have Anti-Trust training.
I had it and I wasn’t close to an executive.

They are hoping it all goes away.
The UniParty seems to want it to go away too.
