Personally, this has been my major issue with FB for a while. All too often FB implemented changes making our information more 'shareable' and turned on by default. We could change this setting if we wanted (although navigating FB privacy is less than intuitive), but it's more the principle behind the change. Moreover, users were rarely notified (in a unified manner) about the change and the effect on privacy. People complained but stayed in the end - partly because FB was the only game in town.
I hope Google does not go down that path. So far I believe they are winning the privacy war, but it is far from over.
