So what is your proposed solution? I already don't post anything online that I don't consider public, just like I don't discuss in a restaurant something I wouldn't want overheard. I have an entirely different privacy threshold than you do. Would any proposed solution respect the fact that I might choose to share more (or less)? For me, the solution seems pretty straight forward. If you desire privacy, don't share.

"So what is your proposed solution?" My real proposed solution? Wait for Facebook to collapse under its own weight like all previous attempts to massively centralize the web under one roof have failed, then wait for the more decentralized solutions to pop up and potentially join many of them for my various personae, each of which possibly with its own thresholds for sharing and different communities in them. The human instinct that the answer to every problem is centralization is a leftover vestige of our tribal past that is particularly maladaptive in the 21st century, though I'll admit to being impressed how far along that road Facebook has gotten. It's only a matter of time; the contradictions between Facebook's desires and the user's desires are only going to grow.
