Still, it's an interesting topic of discussion. As virtual spaces occupy more of our lives, what do they owe us? Anything? We can leave them whenever we want, but can we? Most people feel FB is a necessity. I certainly don't, but most do.
It's a sort of tired argument, I think. reddit went through it during the child porn scandal. Websites owe their users nothing, but the law everything. The Facebook as a necessity argument, on the other hand, fascinates me. My current job more or less requires Facebook, I think -- in fact I sat through a seminar just today, actually, on social media's impact on hiring decisions and it was heavily implied that the lack of a Facebook account was a strike against (I have one, relatively lightly used). So will that make it a necessity in the future -- the two things you need to get a job, Facebook and a social security number? What does that say? Lots to discuss there.
