We need about 100 programmers to go out right now and start writing code that allows users to download and update information from their Facebook social graph. Let them fight a hundred legal battles instead of just one.
I've seen this coming for some time. There is going to be a war over who owns the data about each person, the person themselves or some service provider. I know that legally the service provider owns it, but I'm not thinking that is the way most people see it. This is a case where the law has gotten very far out of sync with the public (and with the first principles of natural law and personal property, but that's a discussion for another time)
