> Are you saying that the product designers at Facebook want to design interfaces and settings that intentionally confuse users into laxer privacy settings?

Almost certainly, yes. Since that's how they derive revenue from users.

> Turning this discussion into a rather presumptuous smear at Facebook in the face of many privacy failures by Google is rather childish

Somehow, privacy UI changes at fb almost always lead to more rather than less confusion and more rather than less sharing. We could either assume the designers are incompetent or decide this is by design. Occam's razor says by design.
