It's really incredible; the number of people with full-blown Stockholm syndrome in this thread is staggering.

Why do so many people here think this kind of thing is okay when Facebook does it? Is it simply because they feel kinship to a tech-related company?

Yup. It's like asking in a wolf forum if having the sheep for dinner is considered ethical.
