My only issue with Richard's rant here is -- why stop at Facebook? The social network/media economy is responsible for lots of business plans, with lots of people vested in their success.

There are others out there besides Facebook.

Agree , but I think drastic drop in number of active users will make them realize , people are actually concerned about their privacy and there was something wrong .

Yeah - it seems weird to point at Facebook when the elephant in the room is Google.

While Google is a larger issue regading privacy, facebook is a larger issue regarding lock-in. Anyone who do not have an facebook account know how often information is locked into facebook, never reaching anyone who chooses not to participating in giving facebook more information.
