Except even they're not necessarily really private, as JWZ's story about Really Bad Attitude demonstrates: http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/rbarip.html

When Facebook made photos public by default, a lot of people also started turning their settings to full private mode, so by trying to force people to become more public, they achieved the opposite. The more either Facebook itself or others try to make people's private lives public, the more people will try to go the other direction.

People like to make things about their lives public as long as it remains their choice - when they are forced into becoming more public, they will look for alternatives.

Good point : Now I understand why Facebook is suddenly on the pro-privacy side of the password argument. Fortunately, for them, Facebook itself has access to everything on your Facebook pages.
