You know... people could just take responsibility for sharing their private information. If they don't think a website "privacy policy" is enough of an assurance, it is their fault for accepting that risk.
FB should not be blamed for sharing information that others freely share with FB. It's ridiculous. It's even more ridiculous to think that government regulation is somehow needed to protect privacy. How absurd.
"I keep using this service and they don't do what I want! But I keep sharing my information with them."
Come on. At a certain point, individuals need to accept that THEY maintain a relationship with FB as well.
I gave my info to FB and they promised to only share it with certain people. Then they made that info publicly available. That's a breach of trust, and possibly criminal.
While you have a point about being responsible about what information you share with Facebook, it's not that users don't like their privacy policy - it's that the FTC has found that the privacy policy Facebook has published is a lie.
