Some people buy an iPhone just because Apple imposes draconian rules on Facebook. People do put a price on privacy, thousands of dollars probably.
When you reduce the value of interconnecting people to a linear scale, it’s unfair. How much value do you put on a friendship? How much value do you extract from belonging to a Facebook group? It’s probably a million dollars per person. It doesn’t mean the privacy part isn’t extracted by coercion, taking friendships as hostage, threatening to remove you from participation to a lot of the social life if you revoke your Facebook account.

The average person doesn’t buy Apple products, they have a small percentage of market share. You’re just throwing absurd numbers around. You’ve argued my point: people value socialization (millions, according to you) more than they value privacy (mere thousands, again according to you). Nobody forces anybody to use Facebook. Yet billions use it. It boggles my mind when people feel they should dictate other people’s personal choices.

- tomschlick 5y agoThis entire thread is about the US taking action. Global market share doesn’t matter in this case.
