  Facebook is the greatest repository of data about people’s intentions, relationships, and utterances that ever has been created. Period. And a company that owns that much private data should be accountable to the public. The public should be able to review its practices, its financials, and question its intentions in a manner backed by our collective and legally codified will. That’s the point of a public company - accountability, transparency, and thorough reporting.

  This is a great point in my opinion.  Are there significant private companies?  Sure, I spent a lot of time at CMU studying SAS — but I can’t think of any private companies that influence our life in the same way Facebook does.
