Gotta be honest: I don't have to spend more than 5 minutes on Facebook to dissuade myself of the hypothesis that, on average, people are feeling constrained about what they're saying.

Pretty good example of selection bias. The people who are concerned are not going to be posting on facebook.

Then we would expect posting on Facebook to go down, yet Facebook's user count keeps going up.

Firstly, you can create any number of accounts without matching people. Secondly, even for real users, those users are often from nations full of people that haven't learned better yet (new market growth). What's their growth look like in the US amongst those 25+?

I'm really struggling to see how younger Americans joining different social networks, which all have the same effects, is a signal that they've learned their lesson?

It's interesting that this is about big data generally and people are reading it as "Facebook".
