Facebook's purpose is to entice ignorant users into freely giving up their private data, playing on human nature in exchange for short term satisfaction, it's akin to engineering addiction.

Why is no one suggesting the simple solution of JUST NOT USING IT? Privacy issues aside, people's data is a commodity. Why would anyone give it away for free?
