> It is possible that the internet has gotten so public that we should all just stop worrying about privacy.

It's notable that the core of Facebook's pitch, to users as well as investors, is "we should all just stop worrying about privacy", or perhaps "everyone you know has stopped worrying about privacy, so you should too."

So rather than a radical view, it's actually become an authoritative statement driving the fact that "the internet has gotten so public"! An elegant hack, really.
