There have been a lot of stories like this one and they usually show up on HN. This one is particularly good at drawing out the consequences.
But as these stories become more commonplace and the general public becomes informed of the true Facebook, I'm wondering if there will actually be people that care.
I can see as the kids that grew up on Google and Facebook become older that the idea of "privacy" becomes more obsolete and that they inherently trust the algorithms because they have always worked for them in the past.
I'm not saying that I agree with this and that I hope this is how it turns out, But maybe The Zuck is right after all.
