Foresight is 20/20. I don't think Zuckerberg (and FB devs) aren't smart or can imagine why giving such data is a bad idea. It's more likely that they thought not many would find out, care, or that when found out that it'd touch their bottom line much. In other words, I think they had plenty of optics and are losing the gamble. I also think they could also only be losing in the short term; I wouldn't bet against "everyone" forgetting about it all in a month and going back to using FB. It's hard to imagine FB's stranglehold letting up. Some startup, prove me wrong.
