From what you've seen Zuckerberg/Facebook do/say, do you think anyone in a position to make decisions regarding privacy has really given it as much thought as you have? If not, what do you think is the problem and what can we all do to help?

    The people at Facebook are extremely smart and I think that they're thinking very deeply about these issues. We may differ on perspective or philosophy, but I have little doubt about their commitment or deep engagement. The difficulty is that there are fundamental disagreements on the table; my hope is to persuade people to look at the issue from a different angle. But this isn't because I'm smarter than any of them. I just see the world differently and I want to make a case for the importance of the angle in which I'm looking at the problem. Of course, I don't have the power to make change and I'm not convinced that I have the respect needed for them to listen. So most of what I say is not really targeted at them; it's targeted at those who are trying to resolve what they're feeling and seeing.
