I see it as just simple power struggle between companies and government - China won the round against Google a few year back by kicking googe out completely.

The power in US government would love the same leverage.

They will get it eventually - start with NSA in secret, but slowly congress can pass the law and bit by bit....

That's why FB and google are implanting the notions of "no privacy" in everyone's mind. Good for their business and also makes it easier to hand over the data to whoever governments/agencies in the future.
