> Second, I’m not convinced the average user gives a damn about privacy. When I see stories about teens using steganography to escape the eye of their parents[1], I'd say the average user cares a lot. I think the main problem lies in the way the general public sees Facebook itself. Either they trust the company too much, or they're not aware of the full extent of Facebook's abilities regarding personal data. If they listened to Eben Moglen[2], many would probably reconsider.
