Most likely simply don't think about it in enough depth to form a view either way. Collecting data to make the app make connections better is the "acceptable" view. The artificial bubbling is probably widely known - as it's recently hit mainstream thanks to all the fake news. The implications and other uses and data transfers are not talked, or often known about. Just like when you look into food production or global supply chains you find many inconvenient truths there too. As age is so often correlated with cynicism it's probable that many tech applicants (to FB or anywhere) are simply not adequately cynical yet. There's quite a few cases of high profile techies suddenly and surprisingly (well according to reportage anyway :) becoming rather anti. btw I thought The Circle far too gentle, and simplistic, about the criticism. Perhaps it's the "cynical Brit" perspective as I felt very much the same about Black Mirror after arrival at Netflix.
