I totally disagree with him apologizing. Feelings are experienced. There is no need to apologize to companies like Facebook and Twitter. These para-sites rely on everyone over-sharing their lives so that companies that gamble on your identity (insurers), database marketeers, advertisement proliferators, and quasi-civilian police officers everywhere get what they need with less work and less judicial review. Why apologize for doing exactly what Facebook wants you to do? They people that made that bed should be required to lie in it.
