>"I would really like to know what data they are sharing with Experian." Sure, I think most people who use FB would. Zuckerberg has been talking a big game lately about regaining user's trust and how "we have a lot of work to do." If he were at all serious about those sentiments FB would begin providing meaningful disclosure about what data they were collecting and sharing with which third parties. They would also update their privacy settings and give user's the ability grant or deny access to the sharing of that data with third parties. Similar to how users now have to grant apps permissions to access contacts, the camera etc. FB's desire to continue operating in total secrecy and simultaneously court public trust seems to be the very height of cognitive dissonance.

Is it cognitive dissonance if they're self-consciously lying? My take is nothing's fundamentally changed for them, and "the work they have to do" is distracting people until the spotlight's off, making only marginal changes in the process. Take this change, for instance, it may have nothing to do with user privacy and everything to do with pushing advertisers to FB's own targeting platform more heavily.

  >"Is it cognitive dissonance if they're self-consciously lying?" I don't think it would be no, at least not clinically. And that actually makes the rhetorics even more insidious.
