Yes, but only if everyone else was convinced it was malware, too.

"Facebook invades privacy" is still a minority opinion among their user base (whether we like it or not).

Not sure you'd need everyone, it would be a product.

Apple has been aiming to become that product, because I've said before that Apple is primarily a privacy company with a bunch of entertainment features. It also means that competing with Apple isn't about design, it's also mainly about providing privacy. Their whole recipe is the complementary packaging of the two orthogonal concepts of entertainment and privacy.

I should start the next Apple.

Apple is a hardware company that uses privacy as a selling feature. They don't sell privacy, they sell hardware.

We should all work on starting the next Apples.

Opt-out rates clearly say otherwise.

Looking forward to 2060 when you can't participate in society any more unless you connect your brain to a cloud run by a facebook subsidiary, giving them access to all your thoughts, memories, etc. Everyone is connected to it. What's your problem?

Yes, we've all seen that(those) episode(s) of Black Mirror.
