While I completely agree that this is unacceptable and applaud facebook for their attempt at protecting users, there is a bit of irony in this move. Wasn't it Zuckerberg who has repeatedly expressed the idea that privacy is no longer a social norm, almost to the point of fatalism.?

Zuckerberg is financially interested in getting your info, not giving it out.

This was my thought exactly, along with, with respect to Erin the Chief Privacy Officer, I won't believe it unless Zuckerberg co-signs this.

Sort of a corollary of Sagan's law: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Critical company statements need to be signed by the CEO.
