That's a great line for a stump speech, but try building this system yourself.
Services like social networks don't need to store physical addresses, SSNs, phone numbers, etc. Therefore, that data should be looked at like a liability rather than an asset. It shouldn't be collected in the first place.
Data like private messages, friends-only posts, etc are needed for the features they want to provide, and they should only provide those features if they can protect that data.
