Of course, a payware model always is the more transparent and fair one. Free ware models always are never free, but have the user being the product.

However:

why making yourself vulnerable to abuse by foreigners, strangers in the first, or a carrier company for such a service? Even if FB starts to charge users and promises it will no longer use user profiling to allow targetted advertising by companies - who says that they stick to it and resist the temptation of selling the users mevertheless? In last german national elections, we recently learned here in Germany, customers of the Postbank had their data sold to political parties for targetted campaign adverts. Legislation has been made in Germany so to allow, legalise and support big data selling from institutions, even federal institutions, to private business. The hunt is open - we all are the prey.

Zuckerberg's quote form back then really says it all:

"People just submitted it ... I don't know why ... They 'trust me' ... dumb ****s."

More you do not need to know.
