> This may be par for the course with Facebook, but it's not something we as a society can afford to tolerate any longer.

Those are strong words, but I'm afraid the "we as a society" are not as much of a power as one would hope. Facebook as a company might turn out to be more powerful. Facebook can bring lawsuits, PR doublespeak and over time wear down adversaries threatening their business.

I think the underlying problems need to be fixed before there can be hope of restricting what businesses like Facebook can do.
