"I'm really curious what the other side is here, especially given FB hasn't slowed down at all despite all the press."
Shouldn't this whole question be directed at the users of FB instead? If they don't care enough about this to stop using FB, why would you expect the developers to care enough to give up part of their fat paycheck?
I personally refuse to work for companies that I think are likely to do business in a way that I think is unethical. But my ethics aren't the same as everyone else's, and I can perfectly well understand not caring about most of the "privacy" scandals that Facebook has if the users don't care.
Everyone is entitled to give up their privacy whenever they want, and everyone should be aware at this point that Facebook plays fast and loose with that privacy. If they continue to post on FB after this, I can't really feel sorry for them.
And for the record, I still use Facebook as much as usual. That isn't a lot, but it's some. I post only to my friends, and I only post things that I'd be willing to post on a public forum anyhow. Like any other tool, you have to be careful while using it.
