I feel like anyone reading this, on this news site, should be telling every friend and family member they have to abandon facebook, if they aren't already. We, the "guy/gal I know who's really good at tech stuff" need to be the example here, and show in very simple terms why facebook should not be trusted with our information.

Good luck trying to convince some teenage girl to live at least a day without social media.
