Misguided way of looking at things imho. He is bringing more attention to the question and a larger non-technical audience now is aware.

I have known techies voicing issues and asking questions about Facebook practices wayback in 2008-9. You can say it took 10 years for the rest of the population to start asking the same questions. But I see it as a failure of the early warning technical crowd, who knew bad things were unfolding, to warn us faster.

Whats the lesson there?
