This must be a case of boiling the frog slowly. I probably qualify as overly concerned with privacy (some might say obsessed). But even I am feeling the fatigue that comes along with the daily news of data leaks, and stories about untrustworthy leadership (public and private). Or maybe, because of my views, I am more fatigued? Either way, it's exhausting. And I understand why people would just succumb to it all.

I'm rambling, I guess. But I am disappointed in the results of this study. Once I had faith that people would wake up over time. But that faith is slipping away...

A lot of unneeded info that is now required.

I'm surprised email and facebook doesn't demand your SSN.

Im pretty sure that a) demanding SSN/DL would cause a mass exodus that would have a bottom line impact for FB b) FB probably already have it through other data sources matched with your FB history
