I think if Facebook seriously wants to gain trust, they must offer the ability to curate your personal data. Not just FUTURE data -- All of your data. Of course, they would be giving up some serious leverage that they have right now in taking control of the internet.
I have been seriously questioning my presence on Facebook for some time now, the only thing holding me back is that a large portion of my distant friends and relatives are on Facebook, and they use it as a primary method of contact. I was an early adopter of Facebook, the amount of data they have on me over the years -- especially during my stupid years at University, scares me. When will this be used against me? Furthermore, HOW it can be used against me scares me most.
