Yeah, I too fell over the double-speak in this statement.  Facebook is open?  I don&#x27;t think so - or is there some way I can query all my data, ever, personally, and do my own data analysis on my Timeline, and my friends&#x27;, and so on .. can I export this data (all of it) for use in other systems?  Is this portable somewhere?  Do I <i>have</i> to use Facebook, or can I just take my data elsewhere .. etc.<p>The only reason I use Facebook is the only reason I ever bothered to use Windows - because my friends insisted on using it and can&#x27;t be convinced otherwise, due to their unwillingness to learn new things.  It is not a technologically suitable solution to the problem of FOAF-networking, imho.  Its socially accepted, only.
