B. Legal =! Moral correct. For one, who thinks these anonymous guys are assholes, I also think that the activities facebook takes part in are bullshit. It would be better if they were reviewed by a court, and morally 'enhanced', instead of an attack.
I do not support anonymous in any way, but I can't see any 'bad' coming from this.
Wait, you DON'T read the Terms of Service for sites which you put personal information on?
And: don't you understand that taking down a service is appointing themselves adjucator of the world and business?
What they are doing is illegal, and denying a service used by billions of people because they can and want to.
The significance of this or "bad coming from this" is the simple fact that they can probably do this and get away with it.

And any information you had stays on there for up to 90 days, after which Facebook's backups are renewed.
Whilst they're not breaking any laws by doing this, I agree with Hyde in saying that it isn't morally correct conduct. I certainly don't want governments (or anyone for that matter) spying on my activities on Facebook, regardless of the fact that I haven't been doing anything illegal.
On the subject of Anonymous' attack, i'd actually like to see how it goes. A successful attack on Facebook would make massive news, and the media would probably label them as stealing your personal information. Oh the irony.
Even if you delete your account it is retained forever. The issue I have is that while facebook's conduct is immoral, it should be a federal agency's job to review that, not Anonymous.

I wouldn't care much if Facebook was ddos'd for a month or so, if that's what you call bringing a site down. It might actually affect my real life since that's where I organize meetings with my friends or at least keep in touch with them, other than that I can invite everyone I know to Google+ haha.
Gee, I could care less if they hacked Facebook, but what "good" will it do trying to destroy a site that most, if not all, people use? They will get much hate, even if they are doing what is right. That hate can be a downfall, because there are millions of users, and that would be fuel for a counter-attack if they slipped up on the operation. They better be careful, even though a warning is slightly dangerous, but honorable none-the-less. Most of these people didn't even know this, so they would skip the part which Anonymous is saving their butts and get pissed off over that they can't talk to their girlfriends and friends.
I'm sorry, but that's how the world works, people only thinking of themselves and their problems; it makes me sick to think that people are so self-centered. In actuality, Anonymous is trying to help, but will it be received?
<Imagining this as a full scale whitehat vs. blackhat battle.>
Nice that there doing something, though a lawsuit will be just fine.
