It's interesting to call it the decline of privacy. That's purely a product of this current hype. The reality is that if you want it to be facebook is a lot more private now than it was in early 09. I may have mentioned before that I have several fb profiles with which to do security research. Last year I could have picked up a whole load of information on just about anyone - today, it's either a lot more difficult or insanely easy (mostly the former). And that "ease" is simply a product of Facebook hiding controls or encouraging people to be open. that is what we need to focus on.
