To answer the question: No.
... That alone isn't going to derail the Facebook juggernaut, but it might slow down people's engagement on the site as they realize maybe a private, unknown email account is a better way of sending sensitive messages.
That isn't going to happen either. It's like saying that because people are aware that smoking is a cause of cancer they'll only smoke half a cigarette.
- beoba 16y agoI don't think your analogy works. Sure, half a cig doesn't make sense, but you can have a facebook account without handing over trusted information.
- verysimple 16y agoThe analogy is actually directed more to the "slow down people's engagement on the site" part of the sentence. The part about people opening anonymous account is a fantasy that presumes that people care. We've been spammed through email for years now, yet only few people can be bothered to open a dedicated account just for the purpose of signing up to various services.
