This is the anti-piracy stance too. Information cannot be stolen like this, only duplicated. It isn't the same thing. I am not a Facebook user nor have I ever been. I have never agreed to allow Facebook to track me. I don't owe then my data just because a random blog decides to embed a tracker.

Edit: clarification

If information cannot be stolen, how is Facebook harming you? They've taken nothing.

No, that's not theft it's exploitation by a large company against people who struggle to defend themselves against it.

Privacy is a completely different beast.

Would you feel ethically justified to support the mafia as long as they will not give you a pair of concrete shoes?

Facebook isn't your friendly neighborhood general store, they spread misinformation that is damaging to the structure of society. Damaging their business is good.

So if the neighborhood store is run by assholes, I should steal from them?

If the neighborhood store is run by a mafia, then yes, you should.

We're not talking about "rude to customers" type assholery in facebook's case.

By that standard HN spreads misinformation. Every social network.
