> their users are there voluntarily

Not really. Many people just feel they have to use Facebook to connect with the society efficiently. Some people even consider those who don't use Facebook weird.



That's their problem. I never use FB and it does not hurt one bit. People have to be responsible for their own choices. No one is forced to use FB. Their weak will is not my problem.


The network effect is strong but it does not make FB use necessary or involuntary. You will not be put in a cage, fined, beaten, fired, etc, for not using FB.


Yep, but you might be left out of many events and slowly become a social outcast amongst your friends. As a first-hand non-facebook user, this aspect really blows.
