Nothing in that disclosure would dissuade (or even give pause to) any of the people I know who use Facebook.

"keep a permanent record of the messages you send to your friends" "keep a permanent record of the photos you have shared on Facebook"

That's great! A free backup.

"keep a log of all the websites you have visited that contain a "like" button."

That's great! So I'll get feeds that better reflect my interests.

I haven't used Facebook since the EFF experimental app that showed all the actual, real information (real names in the graph) FB leaked to any game you clicked 'OK' to. But noone else cares, FB is still growing, and that's OK.

I'm OK with the way Google handles my personal information (doing the match making with advertisers and keeping my details private), and enjoy the benefits this enables.
