Anti-progressive feel to this, despite being the Guardian, using 'privacy', as usual as a political term disguised as a tech one.

Don't like Facebook, use other services.

Don't like open data (at least everyone can by default view/search/mine everyone else's 'likes' data, the advanced search even allows for a request to be programmed in a simple stack based language, if you want to be really expressive/specific) or AI (for example clustering, search spaces, inferencing, statistics, linked data, theorem solving, neural nets, etc...), become armish.

I never really liked social media.
