Why you shouldn't believe 'Facebook backlash' numbers (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-20005921-36.html) by Caroline McCarthy (http://www.cnet.com/profile/caroline.mccarthy/) - cnet news If anybody is telling you right now that they have conclusive evidence that there either is or isn't a real backlash against Facebook over its latest privacy debacle, you shouldn't believe that evidence.
