Why exactly is that not compatible with privacy? I am doing quite well without 
Facebook accout. "Networked anything" does not have to mean "...and no control 
over your data".

You're basically doing both a straw-man (i.e. making it seem as if privacy 
supporters want to live in a world without the Internet), and a false 
dichotomy (i.e. making it seem as if you can't have privacy and Internet). Not 
cool.

And, more importantly, not true.
