To be completely honest, I don't think many people outside the tech bubble have realized the extent to which facebook used and collected users data.

I just don't feel like it's fair to say everybody has known for years. Maybe in your circle, but certainly not in every ones.

What if the audience in question is limited to people reading Hacker News? Do they have an excuse for the sudden change of heart?

Absolutely, people change their opinions all the time, they don't need an excuse, rather, a welcoming pat on the back. It's a good thing!

I thought HN had been fairly privacy-skeptical of Facebook for a while.

Often with these things it's not the same people switching from a view to its opposite, it's more that one group shuts up and the other speaks up. The collective appears to change its mind without any individual having crossed the floor.
