Well, in my case, I deleted my facebook a few years ago, so you actually did lose me, not just as part of some public stand.
I think it's interesting you're publishing your data, and I'm glad you're happy with what you're publishing -- it totally makes sense. User-defined privacy is an awesome thing.
It remains my proposal that you consider actually cutting off your own access to customer data unless they decide to publish it, essentially extending that ability you have while in control of the system to your customers. I think you can see from some of the comments in this chain that people aren't so trusting as you feel you deserve.
And, of course, if someday you or the company needs the revenue, then it might be nice to have already, when not under duress, made a not easily-revocable decision about the ways you'll choose to monetize user data. Or, obviously, it might hamstring your plans.
Same here, deleted my Facebook account a year or two ago, so any time a "cool" service pops up that requires Facebook, it's a bummer to not be able to try out the service, but at the same time it feels like it validates my stance that Facebook has become one of the biggest dangers to the original dream of what the Internet could become.
+1 - Not a facebook user any more, but someone very interested in personal health. The site looks amazing but I wouldn't reactivate my facebook just to use it.
