This is going to forever be the disconnect between privacy advocates and companies handling user data.

For FB/Google and other data stewards privacy means keeping your data safe from others because they consider themselves a trusted party.

[esperent]

What Facebook considers is not what matters though. They've shown time and time again that they are terrible stewards of people's private data. They should not be a trusted party, and Google isn't far behind. Being sympathetic to their point is view when it comes to privacy is entirely the wrong angle to take.

If not a trusted party, they perhaps more importantly consider it a competitive advantage that they'll defend my any means available.

What they tell the public - and even delude themselves with -, versus what really drives them.
