There was a bit of of talk regarding privacy issues when the Beacon platform came out but it soon died out. As Kango said, it will take something major to occur for there really to be an uprise.

No reply as yet.. it's been several hours and in that time our ad campaigns have continued to run and I can't stop them or change them. http://www.facebookunmasked.com “The interesting thing is that most users don’t care or know about Facebooks privacy policy, and if they do, they can’t or won’t do anything about it.”

There aren't that many page views because you go there ONCE and decide, okay, I want to make my profile private to everyone but my friends, and I suppose I don't want my Uncle Gary reading my blogs. You don't need to check up on it every day. Or every month. So should we be looking at page views here, or should we be looking at the number of users who have done any privacy setting changes to begin with, and what forms and types, and amongst what age groups.

The fact that there still are any visitors means that more and more people are changing their privacy settings.

security and privacy are important, but they are nonetheless still just features, and there are tradeoff decisions that both users & facebook (& others) make based on perceived value & ROI… they aren’t absolute imperatives, nor is there any “absolute” security or privacy.

As Kango said, it will take something major to occur for there really to be an uprise. There was a bit of of talk regarding privacy issues when the Beacon platform came out, however most users were not aware of exactly what the platform did for them and their privacy and therefore were not concerned. Facebook's slow response to those who did express anger in the platform showed that they were milking it for as long as they could. It seems more users will have to become more aware of their invaded privacy before anything is done one either end.

If someone misuses access to facebook profiles on a mass scale, and there's a big flap about it, you can bet your boots traffic to that page will go up.
