I don't think that is the case because I see this outside of HN in my day to day life. Your mistake is assuming that opinion in opioid infested fly over country is what determines Facebook regulation, rather than a targeted PR campaign towards elites that impact policy. On the coasts (which is half the country at least), people are certainly talking about FB and privacy. #MeToo requires a cultural shift, not a legislative shift.
