People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. That social norm is just something that has evolved over time.

Mark Zuckerberg seems to be saying that people don’t care about privacy any more, which is, of course, as stupid as it is false. Just because more and more people are using social networks and sharing details of their lives online doesn’t mean that they don’t have the expectation of privacy. And just because Zuckerberg’s little company handles people’s private information so poorly doesn’t mean it’s acceptable for such an influential company to abandon basic decency.
I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything by not having a personal Facebook account.
