Facebook and such would have a whole list of T&C that you need to understand / know before joining using their service. And if I'm not mistaken, it's not a REQUIREMENT for you do so as well. It is optional, you're still using FB without having give out your E-mail accoun details. On phishing sites however, they're saying one thing and doing another. Preying on human weakness to their advantage. Of course that said, all sites do things for their advantage - it's just a matter of how it's being done. :) Yes but i believe the key difference is their INTENTION behind it and whether the operation is legitimate.
