![Mashable's Ben Parr Talks Facebook Privacy on Al Jazeera [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/06ZhjlSPTIzi97mFoThGxN0/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647018643.jpg)
Facebook's Open Graph platform could be a huge boon for web businesses, but the privacy-related complications it brings up are little understood by Facebook users, many of whom still don't even know how to disable instant personalization or just don't bother.
A vocal minority of users have planned a mass exodus from Facebook on May 31, but Ben points out in the video interview below that the network is still growing despite user frustration.
Ben also wrote a column on Mashable this weekend titled "In Defense of Facebook," providing an alternative viewpoint to the Facebook privacy backlash that we've seen over the past few weeks. He made the same point in that article as he did on Al Jazeera (among others): "Protecting our privacy starts with us, not Facebook."
Do you agree or disagree with that statement? Let us know in the comments here, or join in on the conversation on the column.
