The implication from the end of the article is that anyone who is outraged is dumb for not taking their privacy into their own hands. I grant that many users fall into that category.

No, more importantly are the users who don't have a clue how privacy works on FB or even why privacy matters at all. Diligent users like you who review their privacy settings a half-dozen times a year are in the vast minority.
