"If users weren't generally outraged over these changes, there probably wouldn't be a petition to sign nor would the FTC be receiving complaints about the matter.
"Interestingly enough, it's worth noting that users aren't angry enough to actually abandon the social network – at least not in any significant numbers. They're just mad. That speaks greatly to how deeply entrenched Facebook has now become as a part of our everyday communication infrastructure. The company can essentially bait-and-switch its millions of users, promising a private place for online socialization, then turn around and open up its network to the Web at large, and they get away with it. Afterwards, the company gets to pat itself on the back that 35% of its users were smart enough to not fall for its tricks. Facebook, in our opinion this isn't something you should brag about. It's not a move worthy of praise."
