The majority don't care, you're right. If Facebook doesn't prove this, then I don't know what does..? Zuckerberg could literally announce that Facebook was going to store everyones photos and sell them to chinese picture frame manufacturers and the rate by which people upload personal photo's wouldn't slow down. Privacy will not be a factor until it is too late. Question is, when will that be, what will it take?

It seems to me that it's already too late. Didn't Zuckerburg say something like "privacy is dead" a long time ago? I fear the sentiment behind that possibly made up quote may be right because a critical mass of people just don't care.

Yes, you can read what he said here. The sentiment is right. People don't care about their privacy concerns right now, but there could be a tipping point. If there were to be a high profile case that received a lot of media scrutiny -involving somebody getting harmed or taken advantage of because of identity theft etc, it could ruin them. The mob is fickle.
