It's an interesting position to be in when your organization has a lot of pressure from the general public to do right by the people instead of by the interests of the shareholders of the company, especially in the context of a technology company. The only real solution here is just to NOT share data with facebook (delete it), but a lot of people either don't understand that or don't care. These types of events make me worried about what kind of precedents will be set for technology companies in the US going forward. I hope that they don't over-regulate and strangle out innovation, but at the same time I agree that a company as large as facebook should have a larger interest in the good of the people. Who is really responsible for the user data though? Should the users be held responsible for sharing data or should facebook for not making it easier to manage privacy?
