It is, if you're a foreigner, and want to visit the united states.
The immigration officer asks you for your facebook password.
If you try to tell him you don't have a facebook account, he'll think you're just trying to prevent him from doing his job and checking your social media accounts to see what connections you have.
Then, he'll stamp "denied" in your passport, and turn you back.
People seem to forget just because it's free face book is not a public service.. Paid or not, their ability to outright bully someone and hold everything they have on that site hostage- if not outright permanently denying them to at least gather what is theirs is *wrong*. Especially, ESPECIALLY for no good reason.
It would be like me coming to your house, picking the lock on the door, eating your food, drinking your beer, and when the cops show up, they arrest you for bothering me. I then get to take a dump in your living room, and set fire to your photos and other personal items.
