Do you trust Facebook to adhere to their publicly stated privacy policy? Do you think they have honored those policies in the past?

Yes. Definitely.

I believe they have though I have not been at Facebook very long so I don't have full visibility on this. But I don't think that's the most important question. The most important question is: were these policies strong enough? The answer is definitely no and that's why the company is pivoting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtxPdezclYw&feature=youtu.be

Does it concern you that so few people in this thread (your peers within the industry) share your trust n Facebook to honor their privacy agreements? There is ample evidence they have not honored those agreements in the past. How do we trust a Facebook “pivot” when there is no financial or regulatory benefit to pivoting?
There we have it. New guy trusts them so we're good folks.
You really don't have to do this. No one believes a person with a vested interest anyways.
