    Isn't Facebook, and everything on their servers, their property? I mean, if they pulled the plug tomorrow, would they be forced to give all the information back to the users?

    "Facebook opened up the platform, but the entire site has been completely open for Facebook employees since the beginning."

    Don't confuse "open" with "insecure"- FB opening their platform does not implicitly expose their users' data to rogue application developers just because their employees have root access.

    That said, if they do not design the system with security in mind at all levels internal and external from the ground up, one simple code bug (like an SQL injection leak) that allows an outsider to log in with employee credentials would be a complete and catastrophic security failure.

    Considering that Facebook employees have full access to administrative actions regardless of any reports or investigations

    they can simply look at a report deem you to have broken some rules and lock you out without any justification or reasoning other then the ones given by them

    no claims no appeals nothing

    really poor Customer support
