Only EU (European Union) can save us from this horrible future. They've forced microsoft to break the browser monopoly, i wish they'll force facebook also. I think very soon facebook will patent the comment system in "US patent office". Then this site, yahoo answer, twitter everything will be shut down. Only facebook will be used for social networking. Ha ha ha.

Can someone explain me, How can a company patent such a general idea of "showing quality content to user" ? News feed is nothing but a way to show contents to the user that he/she may find useful. Did they patent the algorithm to find such content or they patented this idea ?
