Haven't read the article, but another explanation for anyone who thought otherwise, is that Facebook and all corporations always act in the interests of profit.
They don't have to be "weak" to do this, to betray *our* ideals or back flip for a changed regulatory or political environment.
They just have to be corporations. Anyone who is surprised at this hasn't followed Facebook's progress for years, nor its contemporaries.
