That is clearly fundamentally true of any information. The question is what is shared by default. We don't even share your friend list by default, so the exposure is much less.

Default are powerful, but you are always one "Please click this to enable new exciting ways to play Candy Crush" away from any non-default setting. It may be true that FB users value their privacy, but reflecting these values in minute-to-minute behavior is a much more complex question. People are not always vigilant or realize what exactly is the consequence of their actions.
