I dislike FB as much as the next dev here, but surely it's a widely accepted (and beneficial) practice that employees have special privileges in the apps they build. Imagine using this argument to say that Facebook couldn't shut down a page/group/account.

Imagine using this technique to respond to someone who points out that you have toilet paper stuck to your shoe that it's agreed upon that the existence of toilet paper is a good thing, and that surely they wouldn't prefer the alternative.
