My thoughts exactly. I don't know anyone who is obsessing over this "Tragic Fall of Facebook" (except maybe some shareholders). There are some big headlines, but there's a constant barrage of articles don't say anything new.
It's probably some old giants of media behind the attack, but I wouldn't be too surprised if FB is relishing in the controversy. It throttles their growth for a bit, but they won't seem like such a Goliath to regulators. They can make some compromises ("We won't let foreign IP Addresses post politically-motivated advertisements"); divert attention away from the data mining; and make one big, symbolic gesture in an emergency ("Mark Zuckerberg will step down as CEO... but will keep boardroom seat and serve in figurative role")
