How do you know that most Facebook users think like that? I believe most users have a better understanding than you are giving them credit for.

Anecdotal evidence for sure, but my main point wasn't even about what users think, but about them acting based on social instincts without giving it much thought.
- kareemm 16y agohave you ever talked to normal people about technology. not to teach them, but to understand how they think? you could figure out how accurate your belief is. geeks take the basics for granted. For example: here are normal people answering the question "What is a web browser": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MwTvtyrUQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MwTvtyrUQ. talk to normal ppl about IP addresses, privacy settings, open graph, API, etc etc and their eyes glaze over. in my experience, most of them have no clue. (not because they're dumb, mind you - it's because they don't live and work online like most of us.)
