You are very correct. If you are not paying for a service rendered, then you are the good indeed. However and unfortunately, it seems Mark is also a victim in this scandal. It is not issue of playing a victim. There are other social media platforms that are also guilty of trading people's information, but the success of Facebook has garnered more negativity and ill-will among the tech giants. His acquisition of Whatsapp doesn't go down well with some.
I dont think the situation is irredeemable for Mark however. I think he has, to a large extent gathered consumer loyalty and there may be no significant exodus of the people away from Facebook.

People is too worried looking at the diet in trend in Instagram to care about it. Still, I believe some more aware will make a move.
I doubt it that Mark really is a victim! He probably knew what they were going to do with the data, so he would have been careful what he did put on Facebook.
I do understand that he is trying to play the victim role. He needs to protect his company and his money! We all would. It always looks nice to say that he was also the victim but I am not buying it!
But yep, people will not abandon facebook. Lot's of addictive people on there, which don't know where to go when they would leave facebook!
Indeed, unfortunately in Steemit we do not have a proper team, @ned should be paying CNBC or some other US media network to capitalise on this very same moment. But who knows what they are doing, last project update was months ago.
He probably figured since there wasn't a backlash when Obama did it there wouldn't be a backlash when Trump did it....I guess he didn't quite figure on a segment of the population who just can't seem to adjust to losing the last election.
