For free services, the customers must be the people or organisations that are providing the finances.

Sorry for the slightly late reply, only just noticed this post.
It has been said recently that "if you dont pay for a service you use, you're not the customer — you're the product". The attitude of Farcebook ("there's no such thing as privacy anymore") confirms that this is true, at least of Farcebook, and is one of many reasons why I won't touch Farcebook with a ten-foot pole.
