It is highly discussable if he is the right choice at this time. First of all, where were the TIME Magazine last year, when Facebook really took off? Furthermore it stinks that a massive majority of people voted for Julian Assange for person of the year 2010, and now get totally ignored. Why the hell they poll anyway if they don't give a shit about people opinions?
But in the FSF-Article that's not the point. It's about how bad Facebook is for the freedom of the internet.
They even have an event. The FSF wants you to put a dislike button on your site to show your do not use Facebook.
Oooh, I think I can't participate. Well at least until I change my mind in a hurry (not that this never happened :) ) and delete my Facebook-account.
Mark Zuckerberg is TIME Magazine's Person of the Year? Where's the "dislike" button?
