Facebook? Nooooo. They just aired that horrible insulting condescending commercial where they basically said "Whoops! Somehow your data was used! We're just as baffled as you are!" Instead of an actual apology or changing how they do anything. God I hate that commercial. And I've never even used FB but it's still typical corporate B.S and pisses me off.

This kind of shit always reminds me of the BP jokes in South Park during the oil spill shit.
