#2What I don't understand from Facebook's side is why even do something like this!??
First, it's obvious that this upsets customers. It makes many uncomfortable. Secondly, its obvious that this will make governments curious given the reach and power FB has.
Besides being out of touch with reality or just ignorant, I really try to understand what people at Facebook are thinking these days?
They have some of the smarter people one would think.

A bit more secure logins, increase sign ups (many are leaving facebook - now they have a reason not to), and most important of all - User tracking tied to their own facebook accounts.

What if people are using it for work stuff?
It's becoming a big thing in some industries.

Because no one wants to reinvent a complex wheel of login/acls and identity management ?
When you are buying a product owned by facebook what login do you expect ? Google ? Is it okay if a German citizen starts obeying American laws on German soil instead of German ? It makes no sense.
Imagine being the lawyer in FB who cleared this, obviously he was right to clear this because there is fundamentally nothing wrong with this, nothing illegal or immoral. Even as VP or PM I do not see why anyone would object to a Facebook login on a device owned by Facebook. Heck, even my website supports login via Facebook.
Clearly German government officials do not have a job to do so they are picking on this sort of things.

#7I wish Google had bought Oculus. Never understood why would Facebook was interested in their tech; Unlike Instagram & WhatsApp.

Facebook for work is a thing that exists.

Nah, Google would close it after two years.

Zuck never asks why, he just collects whatever he can.
People make jokes he's a robot or something, but I think for him company is everything. All the money but no respect earned, and his "status" ends at $10m house and whoever wants to use him for their goals. Hence the paranoid need to have FB stay on top, otherwise he'll end up at the dumpster bin of history. Collect all the data, copy all the competitors.
Compare with Elon Musk who is also kinda asshole, but has a vision and charm.
