As observed in “Great Wall of Facebook,” how does the “drumbeat of controversy surrounding Facebook” illustrate the catch-22 that the social network faces?

One thing that catch-22 touches on is that facebook "has a massive storehouse of user data, but every time it tries to capitalize on that information, it's members freaks out". The users don't give them a chance to fix these glitches in time before they start reporting these problems. The users also may feel as if their privacy is being violated based on the information they post because facebook uses this to post their advertisements.

I think that in one word all the answers are contained. Privacy. We no longer have it yet we no longer seem to care or ask for it. I knew nothing about all the interactions between Google and Facebook before this piece. The owners of Facebook are quite frankly a little disturbing. We all enjoy a site for social networking and are on it daily. The question it are we thinking about what this means. As the Facebook experience improves our privacy seems to dwindle more and more.

Many of us don't understand how much risk they are taking when they are entering their own personal information on facebook. The action itself became so normal for us that we do not even think its a threat to us anymore. I wouldn't say that catch-22 is specifically the main reason that we are leaking our own personal information on facebook. However, we have just gotten too numb about this action of ours.
