>using the facebook name to make it sound worse than it is makes this either dishonest or ill-informed

No. Not only does facebook not get cover from "everyone else is doing it," they are actively perpetuating that cover existing for others. They are one of a few entities with the weight to set "industry standard" simply by changing their practices.
