Considering how many apps are using Facebook's SDK, shouldn't this be something that FB should be addressing? After all, they are the ones making an SDK available to app developers to help with user-login. Shouldn't the presumption of trust rest on FB?

There is a difference between working conditions, and labour rights. America has first-world working conditions, and third-world (or worse) labour rights.

As a non-American, I have a question about two things that stand out for me (and do correct me if I'm wrong): the first is that Amazon pays no federal taxes. The second is that corporations seem to expect locals to pay for things that they can then make money off — Amazon's installation in this instance but also American football stadiums stand out as an egregious example.

What responsibility (if any) do American companies have towards the communities/societies they exist in (beyond delivering value to shareholders -- wherever they may be)?
