Massive public attention has already been brought to Facebook and its policies. If the public isn't as outraged as you expect them to be, that's because they don't think Facebook's data collection is a big deal, not because they're somehow unaware.

Not so much, really. Outside of techie types, my experience is that very few people are aware of this stuff.

No, the public who's aware isn't outraged because they don't think there's anything they can do to stop this. Resignation is very different from thinking it's "[not] a big deal."
