> No, they don't. Do you really think if, before she made this purchase, someone explained to her all the things that could theoratically go wrong with this device, she would have chosen not to buy it?

Yes. Do you think if everyone knew what was going to happen with the Facebook scandal before it happened they would have signed up for Facebook? That's why it's called a "scandal."

Yes.

I also noticed how they haven't left once the scandal came to light.

You and I must read different news sources.

From what I've read, Facebook is down over a billion visits in the last quarter.

Half of Facebook's users visited one less time in a 3 month period? I think they'll survive.

I've visited less in the last month, but because they've changed the algo on my feed and it's not as interesting ... though that could be a network effect, but I'm getting quite different stuff.
