Shame on all of you here that use fb, build apps or services on it. You do know better, yet help them continue with their behaviour as mentioned in the article.

If you're not the victim of the country's wrongdoing, and you don't do anything to prevent it, then sure.
Not just because you stay silent and let the leaders of the country pursue further wrongdoing, or also because you pay taxes which enable the country to go about its wrongdoing, but also because you might even benefit from the wrongdoing, even if you don't directly participate in it (e.g. if it benefits the country at large and trickles down to everybody).
Equating an online platform, where everyone is mobile through a browser URL or downloading a different app, vs. a country is a little bit apples and oranges too, however if there is no good alternative - including online - then people are stuck. I believe there will be a better alternative in the future however.
