The "genius" of Zuckerberg is simple.
Back in 2005, while the rest of us were building an idealistic Internet full of democratic freedoms and such, Zuckerberg's breakthrough was realising that when the unwashed masses finally quit TV and get online, you need to be ready to feed them a high frequency mix of narcism, LOLs, peer-pressure and distraction and you'd have them hooked.
Once hooked, you can do _anything_ you want with their privacy. Anything. Sure minorities may complain about point 8.7 in the T&C but the majority just want that "Agree to Terms" dialog to get out of their face so they can get back to their habit.

Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade. http://archive.is/20130102062335/http://news.com.com/2100-1023-212942.html http://archive.is/20130102062335/http://news.com.com/2100-10...
