Facebook is very intentionally trading trust for virality. This is b/c most users don't really care. Over time the balance will shift back toward trust.
Google made the opposite choice, and is now shifting its focus to de-emphasize the trust of its users, or put differently, google's new privacy policy (if successful) leverages the years Google spent building trust.

- Drbble 15y agoThat canard doesn't hold sway anymore.
- Drbble 15y agoIf by "leverage" you mean "cash out", yes. The official word from the top of Google is that privacy is deprioritized in Google Social, and that the future of Google is Social.
