It baffles me how Zuckerberg can remain disdainful of our very consistent feelings toward privacy, while arrogantly suggesting that he knows better.
Facebook's popularity suggests that Zuckerberg does know better. I have yet to be convinced that the average Facebook user cares about abstract privacy at all, let alone as much as we tend to.
I can't just dismiss all the complaints and protests from Facebook users, of course, but I do have to wonder what proportion of it is simply people not liking change, rather than actual privacy concerns.
- cstejerean 15y agoI think the vast majority of Facebook users aren't reading tech news and likely haven't heard about a lot of the privacy changes in Facebook. It's also likely that for most people the decreased privacy did not cause any practical problems. The users that have been burned by Facebook's privacy changes though are definitely complaining. The ones that aren't complaining probably haven't been burned. Yet.
