I'm not a hardcore privacy advocate, but I joined Facebook with the understanding that some of what data placed there would stay private. That is what we agreed to.
Facebook has repeatedly violated that trust.
Yes, privacy is important. However, the only information that I've ever put on Facebook is information that I'd want everyone else to know. That's why I have a Facebook; to give people who don't know me an idea of who I am and what I'm like, and get a little bit of personal branding out there. For instance, there's at least one little portion of my life that I don't want to be broadcast out to everyone, so it's conspicuously missing.
I don't feel that Facebook told anyone that their data would be private. Maybe I'm just naïve, or a little bit of an exhibitionist.
I'd guess the market is ripe for a fb-type site that, for lack of a better phrase, isn't evil. And doesn't have a horrible ux.

and not posting any sensitive information on there?
I've stopped using mine, removed all apps, unfollowed (er, unliked?) all pages. I'd guess the market is ripe for a fb-type site that, for lack of a better phrase, isn't evil. And doesn't have a horrible ux.

* Sharing information: Easy!
* Removing information: Okay, not _too_ hard, but not as easy as sharing it!
* Adding applications/pages: Easy!
* Removing applications: Good luck doing it in less that four clicks, even assuming you know where to look!
* Unliking pages: Where the heck... oh, there it is in little tiny letters way down the left column...
And so on.
