If there is one thing that we have been conditioned to do over the years whenever Facebook so much as hiccups is to wonder just what they have or have not done to the privacy of Facebook users.

Facebook has a reputation of running roughshod over its users’ privacy and then acting as if there is a ‘no harm, no foul’ attitude that we should all adopt. Whether you let them off the hook or not is your call. Most simply put up with it and move on regardless.

The level of mistrust that has developed over the years is a healthy one but let’s be realistic here. It’s mostly shared by a vocal minority that Facebook is smart enough to realize is confined in a relatively tight echo chamber. After all there are about 1 billion users of Facebook and it is probably safe to say (in an extremely non-scientific manner) that at least 95% of them either don’t have a clue about what Facebook knows about them nor do they care. When it comes to how privacy is viewed by Facebook users, Facebook knows that its best result falls under the ‘ignorance is bliss’ category. They’re not stupid. Oh, and let’s not forget, this is for Android users only which is, for the most part, a different crowd than folks using iOS for their mobile experience.

Thank you to Mashable for bringing the new version of the Sunday Comics from the guys at Joy of Tech.

Facebook Home has a long way to go to first be understood and then get out into the marketplace in a significant way. In the meantime, while everyone praises it or trashes it, let’s at least have a little fun with it.

Oh and reminding us about Mark Zuckerberg’s view of what he is helping to accomplish with Facebook it never hurts to remember the dying squirrel. Ahh, yes, changing the world …….
