Sylvano links that FB has imposed a free FB email-addy as its default

And here, they say FB also wants it's own FB browser, probably Opera.

With a FB, an FB email-addy and FB browser.. absolutely zero privacy.

Quote: "A Friday Pocket-lint report cites a 'trusted source' that 
Facebook wants to buy Opera Software — manufacturers of the Opera web 
browser, which claims more than 200 million users worldwide. The Facebook 
browser would include default menu bar plugins, further permeating 
Facebook into users’ general web experience, according to the report. 

A custom browser would be a significant step toward Facebook becoming 
your web, as opposed to just an Internet site you visit and service you 
use. Opera’s mobile browser has received strong reviews online, meaning a 
functional Facebook browser using it could be even more powerful. 
Facebook has struggled to penetrate mobile use as deeply as many think it 
should be able to, and will need to in order to sustain long-term growth."
