Faced with its second mass protest by members in its short life span, Facebook, the enormously popular social networking Web site, has a message for the disgruntled: we know better than you do.Within the last 10 days, more than 50,000 Facebook members have signed a petition objecting to a new advertising program that sends messages to users’ friends about what they are buying on Web sites like Travelocity.com, TheKnot.com and Fandango.
