But if something like Privly was "done right", wouldn't everything — friends, profiles, likes, etc. — be encrypted? I think anything that really provides privacy would be too parasitic to Facebook; that's why I prefer a "clean break" approach like Diaspora/Appleseed/OneSocialWeb. Time will tell, I guess.

(I am apparently posting too quickly)

It is up to the individual user on what level of privacy is enough for them.

I think this has great potential as a cross posting mechanism. I can't switch to Diaspora because of network effects. How do I leave my family at Facebook? With Privly I could cross post very personal content, but not give the content to anyone outside the family.
