How is being concerned about one's personal info and security critical info something that can be "overplayed?" "Seatbelts are getting overplayed. I'm not going to bother anymore. Everyone's dying in car wrecks." "Hey bro this STD thing is getting overplayed. Why do people keep telling me to wear a condom? This is getting old." Security is always a concern-- any time you update software on any platform (Linux included) you're putting a certain amount of faith in developers that they're being honest and haven't borked things badly. But there is a difference between the risk of something breaking and the knowledge that the vendor is almost "grey hat" and wants to spy on you as much as they can get away with. Now imagine if Facebook made an OS. That would be downright comical.
