You should not apply what being said in this article to today's world where security takes priority,
The threat vectors for the Internet have changed significantly in the last 16 months? Wow.

[...] where there's a massive growth in the smart mobile market and Web 2.0 usage such as blogging Twitter Facebook etc.

Users are now becoming more concern with their privacy and the risks of identity theft.
Do you not see the irony of linking increased usage of Twitter & Facebook with a growing concern about people's privacy? If anything, people's concern with their privacy is decreasing (apart from short-lived, largely hyped, mis-understood bubbles... kinda like this one).
