That's the thing that's been bugging me for the past year or so. I don't know about other people, but it's clear to me that Facebook's default privacy settings — the way it's nicely set up so that you overshare with the whole world — is NOT how most users would use it.

So why keep it around, Facebook?* From my vantage point, it's kinda evil, and it's anti-user. Why can't you stop being Twitter and just be an awesome private network?

Most users want to be able to share with their friends with zero friction, and put a higher value on this than keeping things private. I really think facebook's defaults are reasonable for the vast majority of their users.
