I completely agree: when possible the "active" behavior of webpages
should be implemented in JS (client side). In general however I think
that as most services as possible should be accessible only to
authenticated users. This would cut significantly the possibility of
hacking random fb with a worm.

I agree that this is the way to go for world-readable content. I believe
however that if i want to publish blog posts that only my friends can
read or share with them some pictures publishing to a third-party is not
an option. In this case the FB could play a role.

I guess you really have a lot of friends :) I think that in a normal
setup there would be not more than one concurrent user of the
freedombox. I believe this because as I was saying above I think content
published by the FB should be accessible to a small number of
authenticated people.
