The fact that it was in Facebook's interest to do the right thing doesn't change the fact that when it came to it, they did the right thing and Google, for all their "don't be evil" talk, did the wrong thing. That's what really matters in the end.
And I don't particularly like having to say this, because I've been a Google fan ever since I switched to their search engine from AltaVista, whereas I think the world would be a better place if Facebook shut down their servers and deleted their database tomorrow. But yes, damn it, Facebook does deserve credit here.
They would deserve credit if they acted against their best interests by making it known what was going on at the time, but they knew they were benefiting from lower than otherwise salaries due to the collusion.
