&gt; decide whether they want to be locked in or not<p>is the same logic as, &quot;let people sell themselves into slavery&quot;. Sure, who is X to stop someone from selling themselves into slavery, right? But it&#x27;s also an extreme asshole response to a situation where a rich and powerful slaver goes to poor people and says, &quot;my goal is to help you, when you <i>choose</i> to become my slave, I will clothe and feed you and even educate you, I&#x27;m doing this to help you&quot; and someone criticizes that.<p>It doesn&#x27;t matter if it&#x27;s not MY business to stop FB or take away others&#x27; freedom to use FB. FB is still doing this to gain power, and the ramifications of this long-term are terrible. And your statement amounts to &quot;FB has a right to lock people in (and to misrepresent their motives), and people have a right to choose to be locked in&quot; which is a shitty pathetic reply to my criticism.
