But there's value in the difference between "something that a private detective or a spy can learn without too much work" and "something that the Googlebot will index seconds after you write it". And that value is going to be worth money to someone, even if Facebook is tempted or compelled to turn away from it.

This is a well made point. The difference between what can be learned and what can be learned easily/through happenstance is very significant.

It is hard to hide something form some truly determined to find it out, but that is very different from broadcasting it to the world.
