What's the alternative to accepting their apology and moving on? Short of organizing a mass exodus from Path, or pushing for legal action (which the author doesn't seem to be proposing), what can be done? The only alternative I can think of is for the community to keep repeating itself over and over again, like "We're still outraged."

People move on quickly after Google or Facebook screw up. There have been several times where people were enraged at Facebook's default privacy settings, and I never saw much discussion 24 hours after each story broke. The same goes with Apple: I can't recall any privacy-related issues other than the coordinates being stored on the phone, but a similar issue was all of the weird app rejections and fuzzy rules surrounding the App Store. Each time, people were outraged, and then the discussion cools down. I think this is inevitable, and I don't think it necessarily means that no good came out of the situation.
