I don't believe Facepalm was started with the intention of data gathering for the government, but it doesn't really matter.
My hatred of Facebook began well before the more legitimate reasons to hate it now; I found it stupid that you had to go to the same college as someone else to friend them. Then there was all the dumb poking. Who would have known that was the recipe for success, and give one of the worst people so much power?
That said, I have an account, mostly because it's the easiest way to keep in touch with people you meet. If I had a business, I'd probably have some minimal FB page that simply directed people to my superior in every conceivable way page.
