I actually trust institutions more than I trust people. Institutions are built on laws, they outlive humans, and they are impervious to the individualist nature of humans. Although it's a different story for companies and corporation (which facebook is). Facebook is a bad idea because it is only about individuals and their private circles of friends. You would expect from a social network to give you opportunities to enlarge and open your friendship to new individuals, but facebook does the exact opposite, it builds exclusivity between individuals. The whole real name idea makes no sense, since it only enables stalking. Zuckerberg have this naive optimism about people trusting people, and it would somehow justify the intrusiveness of facebook because he thinks that most people have good intentions. Except you need a very few individuals to ruin the experience. The internet is not a trustworthy place, and facebook has made it even worse. It is really frustrating because facebook really has the potential to be so much better with its userbase, but it seems it will keep being this useless photo and news sharing website. I wish technologies like decentralized networks and the blockchain could change that. The whole distrust for institutions is another great meme of the libertarian agenda.
