indeed privacy is big matter of concern and both biggies are willing to play with privacy.

after all in my own thoughts

हर किसी को चाहत है राज जानने की

छुपाने का वादा शायद ही कोई करता है

but the way Facebook is desperate about user`s privacy and even ready to monetize it than it must be having a different goal for that. But I hardly see the efforts of apple making any difference as we all know "बाप बडा ना भईया,सबसे बड़ा रुपईया" and for the money they will share their data as its just 1 click and they will get 20$ in their account without doing nothing.

there would be few who wont share their data as they will believe in privacy and obey the mantra said by great "Hasrat Jaipuri"

पर्दे में रहने दो पर्दा ना उठाओ,पर्दा जो उठ गया तो भेद खुल जाएगा.

Hasrat Jaipuri captured it well !

It is also true that everybody wants to create their own walled gardens and nobody cares for customer anymore.

Facebook is absolutely aiming to become the commander in chief of users data. Given that they have been masking their efforts by the name of personalised content for users. Many users still don't know about the thin line that exists between privacy breech and personalisation. A millennial user is inclined more towards the element of convenience and comfort rather than security. I think more efforts should be made into making them aware of the possible consequences. The situation has become more serious after the Cambridge Analytica case. A user must be aware of the course of action that he\she should follow in such situations. I believe more clarity is required on the kind of regulations that exist in safeguarding users data. Also today's customer has his footprints in multiple walled gardens, and he has the freedom to chooss which one to go to for what product or service. And it is these options that are enabling companies to provide better services from their end.

Is it actually a choice for users? At some point you have to take a call to be part of one ecosystem but then you would be struck with it.

Your insights about privacy breach and personalisation are good.

I think maybe users should get paid for making choices then. And to some extent these social media outlets have started giving discount coupons, free membership and certain incentives to their users.
