It seems that the vast majority users are 100% OK with giving up some level of privacy for free service. I consider myself fully within that group and do not mind targeted ads for example.
I believe where users draw the line is when a service uses their content to distribute to others for a fee. Using images, essentially intellectual property, is not OK with me. Nor am I a fan of Facebook using my name in sponsored likes. The later bothers me less, but it still annoys me that it is happening. Part of this is the fact that when you first logged on to facebook, you viewed it as a way to share in a fairly private network with your friends. Now your habits must change to protect yourself, but you have no alternative (yet).
I don’t have an answer to the problem with how free networks should grow, but personally, I am opposed to any use of my content as a distribution or free use of images. Now I feel that I have to protect myself by not posting photos to facebook in case they one day change their policy.
