I anticipate this will be a self-correcting problem eventually. If it's not for large-scale political effects that evolve as a consequence of reckless evasion of privacy, then it might be events on a small scale. Maybe your current girlfriend happens to be the ex of some other guy that uses the information you provided to stalk you. This kind of event happens on a different time scale than the instant gratification scheme that made certain social media platforms so successful. Nonetheless their negative impact is orders of magnitude higher than all of those small positive impacts combined so that they eventually outweigh them. It's a matter of time.
