> To be honest, about this issue of privacy and security, most of the world really doesn't care. The people who do care are not a majority and not even a significant statistic. Providing an apology is enough for most people, since they don't understand the depth and scope of the problem at hand. This is what worries me most of the time. Another commenter under this thread pointed to some kind of poll about Facebook. But polls don't matter much. People may have negative sentiments about Facebook, but what really matters is if this sentiment is reflected in almost the same proportion by an exodus of users from the platform or a significant drop in usage of the platform, while showing an increasing trend (even if it is for a short time). I believe most people will be angry, but will keep expressing that anger only on Facebook while their "friends" like and react and comment, creating exactly the fuel that Facebook needs — engagement and attention-minutes on its platform! > Shareholders know this. Mark will receive a slap on the wrist, and business will continue as usual as this fades out over the next 1-2 months. I believe the same too. Based on all the goofs from Facebook over the years, this one is just a bit more serious but would not be the reason why millions of people would boycott it. That requires a "disaster" on a larger scale, which I'm sure will come in the future because of Facebook being Facebook.
