I think I wouldn't have a specific ethical issue with it, but I would have a DO NOT WANT emotional reaction because the way people use FB is so different. If someone starts treating their imported filters--or even friends-only setting the same way, so all their FB "friends" see everything their LJ friends could...well, if we know each other IRL, triangulation becomes really easy. On the other hand, I think the people I know IRL on LJ are unlikely to use such an import feature.
So...I'd be really uncomfortable with it because of the different social dynamics of the site.
Comms I'd be indifferent about. Comms I have no ethical issue about, but from a usability standpoint I'd be really annoyed. No readily searched archives? Makes most comms far less useful.
