That's a choice you made, and that's all that Facebook provides. I choose to only accept friend requests from people who are actually my friends (or at the very least, acquaintances) in real life. You've chosen to include a much broader group.
"Suddenly Facebook has become a conduit for spreading capitalist ideology"
We can only hope so. If it is, it will serve as a monumental achievement. It will lift millions out of poverty, bring freedom and choice to billions, and improve the quality of life for all of us.
