It just ruffles my feathers a bit that Facebook says "come on in, connect with your friends, keep in touch" and then after everyone is comfortable and gets used to it, 5 years later says "and now all of you and your friends private relationship and correspondence is public to anyone who wants it. And you have no control over it."
I want an application that allows me to keep in touch with my long distance friends easily, as I've moved around the country. Is it so much to ask that I'm not manipulated and exploited in the process?

What is truly missing is: "Opt me out of all open graph APIs - make me invisible"
Yes, you can easily do this. All you have to do is erase your Facebook profile. If you need help doing this, let me know.

Well, then it wouldn't be an "open" graph.
