Yes, definitely.

Because the general population cares less about privacy than HN. But I (not OP) think it goes deeper than that, and I've seen people here deliberately spreading lies about FB.
- _cs2017_ 7y agoInteresting. What else, besides privacy concerns, could be at play?
- throwaway84_TO 7y agoA little while ago I played with the idea that if the masses were convinced that breaking up Facebook (or Google, Amazon, etc) was a good idea and that it eventually happened - the surviving BigTech "shrapnel" would be less capable to stand up against a government seeking information or control over them. A paranoid and overly Orwellian idea for sure, but interesting to play around with!
