Right for who?

Oh I see. Right for Facebook's public image. Wrong for their customers which have a right to know what the hell Facebook has been doing with their data.

I think you mean "Users" instead of "Customers".

If you're not paying for it, you're the product.

You're correct, and I should have made that clear. Unfortunately it's too late to edit my comment.

Facebook's customers aren't the ones whose data Facebook has been misusing.

As a rule, a company's customers are revenue sources.

Why a company like FB would do anything right for their customer ? They never did. It was always about FB. How does that surprises you ? They are not Mozilla.

It doesn't surprise me. It surprises me that people on HN try to defend their business model.
