Nope.

This is what you pretend to care about: "There is no universal measure for [what small amount of privacy constitutes], only each individual can answer the question for herself."

What you actually want (and what is actually happens): "users are not given no privacy whatsoever and every single scrap o user data has to siphoned off and sold to the highest bidder, and the false alternative should be for users to pay to preserve their privacy". That is basically what Facebook is arguing.

So. First you define what "small amount of privacy" is, and put a price on that. And then present users with a choice. Or skip the pretence.
