I meant my height and strength to be a bit more analogous to, say, people being informed about the subject of privacy. In a way it kind of is; if you're smart, know what you're doing, and have a bit of skill, you can defend yourself well. You're the 6'2" guy from the internet.
Mass privacy is difficult to achieve; hopefully we will, and honestly apps like Girls Around Me are scary enough to start showing people what the hell is up. Hell, I'm uncomfortable with ever sharing my exact location with people I don't know; as a rule of thumb, I probably don't like the person, so why invite them near me? But yes, a campaign for education about facebook privacy, along with movements to start promoting it, would be very, very useful. And, if I'm honest, I actually don't mind the whole "personal advertising" efforts. I don't think I've as of yet bought anything online that I saw through advertisements. I might have clicked a link once in 2003. That was it.
