Zuck emphasizes this: privacy has not changed. A bunch of people just got a wakeup call on how little privacy they had. If they read this book, they'd already know this and more. Also it would help if oldfacebook.com spelled "Zack"'s name correctly. The most valid criticism I've heard is that Facebook should do a better job of involving key user community representatives or stakeholders in the design process for major changes. Ebay got a rude awakening to this before they formed a consulting group from their top dozen critics. Like Ebay, Facebook's value is their community. Proactively getting community feedback would make them feel more valued and appreciated.
