I don't spend a lot of time on Facebook, but I check my notifications and messages throughout the day. I think that all-told I spend about 20-30 minutes a day on Facebook at work. By law, I am entitled to two 15-minute breaks. That said, I don't really take breaks at work. I feel that it's entirely appropriate for me to take my breaks at my desk using Facebook or sending personal email. As long as this activity is not impeding your work and you are crossing any boundaries, I think this is entirely acceptable. I think that those who are taking advantage of this freedom at work will eventually get caught, or their quality of work will reflect their lack of effort.
