Sounds like Kodak executive dismissing digital photographs. I personally don’t think that it is the case that public networks will continue to be important in people’s life and my opinion has less to do with privacy and more to do with the degradation in the content that is proposed in those public networks. Fake information, virulence, exclusive behaviours, groupshift, groupthink… all these are poisoning the atmosphere one breathes in these groups and I think (maybe, hope) that people are getting increasingly tired of it. We have entered (I hope) a declining phase for public networks on these basis, not because of privacy. So, of course as you say Zuckerberg’s proposal is as arrogant and preposterous as his more recent call to Governments to ‘help’ with privacy. Mr Zuckerberg has certainly seen way earlier than others the money to be made out of Facebook’s model — with incredible business acumen in such at his young, inexperienced age then — but he failed to see (and he still does) the profound social ramification of his creation. Facebook has to be broken up if we want to have a shot at promoting a sustainable society.
