The whole world still doesn't care about these issues and still votes with their time and money to fund Facebook. They will until there's something "better". If we care, it's our job to make something better that the public will throw their time and money at. An op-ed like this one in the New York Times only means that we've transitioned from only privacy-conscious nerds finding Facebook offensive to the elite class beginning to understand that there might be something wrong. That took over a decade. It'll probably take 20 years before Facebook is dead and we've all moved to a decentralized solution.
