It's imperative for Zuck to speak to users directly and put a face on the company, but alas he's young and not the most media-savvy guy. Do you really think that addressing a topic this big and this personal, that Facebook would not have some kind of script looked over by writers and lawyers? Of course not, but you'd like to feel as though it's "off the cuff" and "sincere". But then again, "off the cuff" means you haven't really thought about the issue fully.
It's a tough gig, you can see why companies hire spokespeople - so you can believe James Earl Jones sincerely watches CNN.

If you were to ask me about it, I wouldn't have to look up reasons why I like it...I would just tell you. The reason I can do this is because I think about it all the time. For something as important as the privacy of 400 Million people, I would hope that Zucky is thinking about it all the time...he should be able to answer questions about facebook privacy in the same way that a startup founder should be able to give somebody an elevator pitch without stopping to think about it. The way it is now (scripted, obviously so), it looks like this isn't something that facebook really cares about.
