#12I think that is very unrealistic.

#14This is hysteria. You people are crazy. This is not nearly that big of a deal. I beg my fellow hacker news readers, get ahold of yourselves.
This is a stellar opportunity for this community to have some introspection. Are we capable of it? These kinds of posts are a mirror to what we badly want to be true, whether it is actually true or not. We, apparently, badly want Facebook and even moreso Mark Zuckerberg to fail. Why do we want that so badly?

#15At this point I've hidden at least 10 threads relating to this. I'm starting to think that this is a coordinated PR "attack" on facebook.

Because we've allowed facebook, and it's ilk, to run rampant with our personal data and identity. Let's rein them in. With force.

#17When under pressure, I'd expect a strong CEO to fix things, not to crawl away from the problems and toss them on someone else.

I understand the anger directed at them. Facebook are the spearhead of the closed, privacy-invading web, and this is the straw that broke the camel's back. Most people reading HN probably remember the days when the web was open and free and you actually had to remember URLs to read interesting content on interesting websites, usually run by enthusiastic hobbyists, written as flat HTML sites without JavaScript bloat or supercookies.
They're obviously not the only company at fault, but they're one of the biggest.

Schadenfreude. This story is old and it does not speak well about the character of the people who embrace it.
I personally find it disgusting. If you don't like the service, stop using it and shut up.
Re: Now would be a good time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign
#20I want to keep Facebook only to be connected with my friends. But I do not want to see their status updates. I just want to be digitally connected with them so that I can contact them. Instead of seeing their photos/posts, I would rather like to talk to them personally.
I always think about pre-facebook era and want to go back again to those times.
