As far as I can see, you would have cause for complaint if facebook was the
only site available for free. And as far as I can also see, there is
nothing (beyond available money reasons) that stops people from adding a
full fledged data plan to their cellphone. This isn't a monopoly either.

I don't particularly care if you are allergic to facebook, but please let
us not raise spectres where there aren't any.
