I have to say, I think you are VASTLY overestimating the average facebook user.

I've never received that prompt. If you read further down in that misleading article you linked to, you would see that they don't show the prompt to all their users:

> we're displaying this prompt when a user who has not enabled secure browsing (through the account settings option) manually changes their browser's address bar to https://, which does not fully protect their Facebook traffic.

I just had to go hunting through privacy and security settings for 5 minutes to figure out how to enable HTTPS.

So no, I would guess fewer than 0.1% of Facebook users have this enabled.

I tend to agree with the parent of this comment. Most people on facebook are clueless when it comes to even simple privacy fixes, and even the technorati have trouble tweaking things properly.

I thought the same thing as parent. It seems the poster is suggesting that tons of people are using https, and I can almost certainly say that just about everyone I know does not use that feature.

I believe the poster of that facebook post (Limited Run) said they would post their analytics details or something like that. I'd kind of like to see them, myself.
