That goes for everything for those with position of power.

"It's creepy what all these policemen do, but what can I do?" "It's creepy what all these politicians do, but what can I do?" etc etc

In case of FaceBook, whey know what to do. So "Regular people don't care much..." is the correct conclusion as as far as I can see.

My anecdata is that I met plenty of people who said "Facebook is the best", then they take a picture of you to upload it there regardless of what anyone thinks (would even tag it by the name). And I can't see how they would change their mind unless it is by public shaming - the same way that smoking has been reduces in many places.
