It's not that I don't agree you don't need governmental help to protect against facebook, but rather that it's very unlikely to come from the US government any time soon. You'd be better off taking active steps to protect yourself as much as possible (admittedly won't be complete protection) than sitting around hoping someone in DC will care enough to protect you. The current trend is that things will get worse before they get better (if ever). Write your congress folks, etc etc, I guess.
