I have willingly shared my data and traded privacy for benefits, but that has always been voluntary, not with a shotgun pointing at my head. If this doesn't change (through legal action or awakening), Facebook will lose a small number of members - only the negligibly small minority of intelligent, quality people who understand what is going on and care bout their data. Already too polluted, the platform will be left with masses of brainless youths making ever louder meaningless noise, and their aunts whose 'sensitive' content is magazine-copied cooking recipes. With Quality voting with their feet, the value of the network will diminish - but not the monetization potential.The remaining audience consists of the kind of people who are more easily milked....

This time though, their "retentive" impulse may lead to actually losing something - like users.
