Declutter your Facebook friends as well. Do we really need 100+ friends on there?
HIs point is that it's dead because nobody cares and everyone is letting it die. Privacy does not have to be dead - there can be laws to enact more sensible privacy than we have now. Yes, it becomes harder in a digital age. Yes, perhaps we lose a little of the oh-so-convenient "get my news on FB" kind of crap (I agreed with the earlier post on "who does that?". ).
I care about privacy to the extent that I care about thing that I have no chosen to share. If I walk out of my door in the nude, or put a similar photo on FB, then it's not private. I chose to share. If I walk around inside my own home in the nude, then I expect that to stay between me, my husband and our walls. The same is true if I get an insurance quote online (or even by walking into a branch of an insurance company). It's supposed to be a private transaction. Ditto my bank account, share purchases and any other purchases for that matter. They are my information. If I "like" the company I am purchasing from on FB, that's public. But what I purchased from them should not be shared with third parties. I click every box available to not share my data, knowing I probably miss more than I click. It should not be this hard.
And others can track your facebook data too...

(All of this confirms - don't invest too much time on facebook logins / audience tracking)
Oh, the horror. The humanity. Won't someone think of the childrenThe exploit lets these trackers gather a user’s data including name, email address, age range, gender, locale, and profile photo depending on what users originally provided to the website
When a user freely provides innocuous information to a website and that information happens to get shared to others; while strictly true, the use of the word "hijacked" is oh-ever-so-slightly misguided IMO
I treat this kind of "hijacking" as important as someone stealing my garbage.
