Facebook and privacy don't really couple together well lately. Especially after this excellent post made by Business Insider on 10 Reasons to Delete Your Facebook Account. You might be surprised at some of the topics listed, such as the fact that deactivating your account isn't actually deleting it. Oh and my personal favorite, the famous Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of Facebook) quote made this past January:

People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. That social norm is just something that has evolved over time.

I hate to ruin your fifty-strangers-living-in-one-house-in-peace-and-harmony perspective here, but no... we haven't. That's why a very good portion of uses still have their Facebook profile visible to just friends, friends whom they have approved. Because we don't want complete strangers accessing our data. But then again, every single time we click that little blue "Allow" button on an application, we're obliviously letting developers access all of it, right? That must be the proof you have!

Or maybe it's just your own head taking control like an insane dictator. Remember that time when there was the whole issue of those new privacy settings and having a pop up on our home page urging users to switch over? And after the seventh pop up when the general population of Facebook actually did switch over and in the process found that their privacy settings were by default set to Everyone?

This privacy timeline seems to sum up pretty well the evolution of your thoughts on our data. I'd like to repeat that. Your thoughts on OUR data. Now with your "instant personalization" that the EFF is already protesting, you're trying to let third-parties suck all of our information into their website to personalize and display.

There seems to be a clear trend here, mainly in the last few months. You seem to be rubbing people the wrong way for the very last time, and they are quitting Facebook. There's quite a few people all over the news, mainly journalists I've seen, that are leaving. Why? Because you aren't giving us peace of mind that our information is safe. In fact, you are doing the exact opposite. While it may take something drastic to get 400 million users off of the world's most popular social network, it's never good to see unhappy users all leave for the same reason. Clean up the act.
