@krapp<p>EDIT: I said stay on topic, because some will try to go tangent to prevent meaningful discussion on the real topic.  Much like politicians not answering questions. This achieves one&#x27;s goal of causing FUD to keep the person&#x2F;organization&#x27;s brand from getting tarnished.<p>If facebook comes out saying it&#x27;s not true, will anyone really believe them, knowing their past practices?<p>Facebook has a lot of eyeballs looking and thus influence, and so the higher-ups there now want to use it to influence others. Much like celebrities do.<p>And they got to such position of influence using not so good tactics. Are people ok with this? My guess is not.
