If Facebook were a country, it would be the eighth most populated in the world, just ahead of Japan, Russia and Nigeria. Also it would be one of the biggest totalitarian police states. Here in this facebook "country" we don't have any privacy assurances or control over our data. We can't even befriend people form other "countries" like, myspace, orkut, bebo, hi5, elgg, identi.ca and twitter!!! Some would say well if you don't like it just leave. Well, that's part of the problem, there isn't even a way to completely delete our accounts. The other problem is that we are locked in to this service very badly, our friends and family are here! How can we say no to them?! We as a group will bow to do our best to advocate an open and decentralized facebook,and social Internet, based on open and free protocols and technologies.

I don't plan on dedicating too much time on this. It's just that this issue has been bothering me a lot lately and I didd't find any facebook group advocating for this so I made one.
