moaning about Facebook's attitude to privacy for years and it's not stopped their growth
Has it? I rather thought their growth curve had peaked and in some countries FB usage is falling. In particular, at least here in the UK, kids are allegedly abandoning FB for other messaging systems because their parents have finally figured out how to use it to keep tabs on them.
(And I for one no longer update my FB, precisely because their attitude towards monetization is so obnoxious. Meanwhile, I do continue to use a paid-for-with-real-money accounts on two other social networks that have rather more respect for their users.)

I don't know about falling usage, but facebook demographics are changing. They're losing "eyeballs" that don't have much money and are picking up eyeballs that do. I suspect that they're willing to make that trade.
