People get what they sign up for - Everyone knows that facebook is a powerhouse of private data and yet they still continue to use it.

If you don't like how FB handles your data, don't use it.

And, again, it doesn't matter if you use it or not because they are building and selling profiles for everyone, not just their own userbase. Look into facebook shadow profiles.

I'd say everyone is a bit high, people that post on HN for sure and most technical users but I doubt that the average facebook user knows or cares about any of that.

I'd argue they've been in the news enough for people to know better.
