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.
