Just as a post about Googles next generic Whatsapp-clone (with x-size-larger emojis) will get some 500+ upvotes, so too will a post like this get upwards of 200 votes. The HN community really is polarized ( or so it seems ) about these data-harvesting companies and issues like privacy/transparency. My thought then, is which group is larger here (privacy-aware vs. GooAppFace )

I haven't seen a discussion with that many downvotes in a long, long time. Downvotes for no apparent reason.

Either there are a lot of Google employees here on HN, or a lot of Google fanboys. Or both.
