At least part of the problem is the near-constant change in privacy standards at Facebook and the ever-growing TOS. If users could lock into one explicitly-stated clear Terms of Service, then perhaps we wouldn't be so worried. Then, if Facebook wanted to change the terms, new users would come in under the new ToS and older users could opt in, if they wanted to. Yes, it causes more of a headache for Facebook (or any service that opts to follow that route), but it sets a level of expectation and puts everyone on level playing field. As it stands right now, unless I'm prepared to read a document that's longer than the Constitution, I pretty much have no idea what they're doing with information that, yes, I'm willing to share with friends, but not the world.
