Zuckerberg Comments Underscore Conflict Between
Social Networking and Privacy
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg added fuel to the ongoing privacy debate with recent statements that users no longer care about privacy. While the statement itself may be a little simplistic, the sentiment may be accurate and the success of Facebook is evidence to back up Zuckerberg's assertion.
In comments to TechCrunch's Michael Arrington, Zuckerberg said "People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. That social norm is just something that's evolved over time."
Zuckerberg also told TechCrunch "We view it as our role in the system to constantly be innovating and be updating what our system is to reflect what the current social norms are."
