It's interesting how the "think of the children" folks will complain when they work with researchers *and* when they don't work with researchers.

While I'm not particularly fond of Facebook, is there a "right decision" here?

As for the rest of the article, I don't think there is a right thing a company could say, as anything, even if reasonable, could be spun against them.

For instance, let's say a company doesn't really want to open the can of worms, and to really get in users' faces, that itself might not be an unlikely scenario. But, then, how do you say that?

So, there isn't really anything that I can really say about it.
