Why is the silence deafening? And what exactly is expected from Facebook? Today it'd say it was 50 million affected, and in a day change it to up to 90 million, and a week later it'll become 130 million, then it'll be 150 million, and then people will stop caring, as they have before, and move on. There are three kinds of people — those who stopped using Facebook a long, long time ago when the very first privacy issues came about; those who will never stop using Facebook unless they're moving to Instagram or another hotness of the day; those who may stop using Facebook after hearing about privacy or security issues. The last category is very, very small. So is the first. The only way to get out of this mess is to have a "new hotness" that's as good as (if not better than) Facebook and is privacy preserving, decentralized, easy to use, etc. We're still a long way away from that.
