Are users overly worried about privacy on facebook?

No users are not overly worried about privacy on facebook. One of the main reasons that people join facebook is for the privacy. What sets facebook apart from myspace is that you can only share information with people you choose, and its widely understood that purpose of facebook is to connect and share with "friends"

The purpose of facebook is not to meet new people. The purpose of facebook is to reconnect with lost friends and to allow the people that you choose to keep up with you. This is why it is great that facebook does not allow google crawlers to post up information about facebook users. If the stuff that facebook users post up was not tightly kept between them and their friends facebook would lose its and identity and its usefullness.
