Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

As to the real life consequences of a laissez-faire approach to privacy:

Nobody claimed it was. But GP's point is that he doesn't understand the hysterical responses to an absence of evidence, and doesn't see why he should change his behavior in the absence of evidence.

Don't get me wrong: I think Facebook is a fundamentally culturally rotten company, and probably disagree with him more than I agree with him. But non sequitur buzzwords like your comment are neither here nor there.
