Zuckerberg: I know that people don't want privacy

Around the three-minute mark, he says: "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."
Gosh, it's hard to keep up with these pesky social norms. They change so very, very quickly. Two years ago, Zuckerberg told ReadWriteWeb that privacy controls were "the vector around which Facebook operates."
Zuckerberg isn't in any position to speak for everybody. Personally, I want more privacy, simply because it has gotten much easier for others to gather the information you leave around and use it. Like for example information about your past, using that to reset e.g. your Yahoo password. You don't think that's possible? Well, ask Sarah Palin about popcorn.
