I care about my privacy to a certain point. If Facebook is using some of my interests for market research, I don't care that much, because that's how Facebook makes its money and keeps it free for us. At the same time, I wouldn't want anyone to be able to see information about me or any photos or comments or status I have made. But, there is also a security settings feature where you can make people unable to view your profile if they do not have you added. So overall, your privacy still matters.
This is very true. I agree with all of your advantages and disadvantages and am also glad they have security settings for us.
