It's as closed as it can be at the moment, while Google's stuff generally lets you export to your hearts desire.

My guess is that this is just a PR move by Facebook to counter all the recent negative publicity. My participation in Facebook is purely experimental and I know many others who are doing the same. More and more of these accounts are just going to go dormant until they can come up with a new and compelling reason to use the service. (And I don't think running ads for Coke qualifies.)
