Can someone explain to me what the problem is with data availability?
As other comments have noted, most people don't care. How would you make someone who doesn't care, care?

I am sorta of the opinion that nothing on FB should be considered private, but even with that noted, and the fact that I don't particularly care what personal FB info on me is scraped, I'm a bit annoyed that any random friend could expose data that I have marked as private by allowing some random BS app to access to their own account. According to FB, this was solved years ago (but the data already scraped from the previous state was never successfully recalled), but I hardly trust them to give a shit about this or other issues popping up in the future, barring another mass outrage.
I think the general public would care more if they got a better sense of what having a large volume of their seemingly innocuous data lets companies figure out about them.
