Interesting. I've still got no hits, which surprises me.

Only ~32m of ~190m USA Facebook accounts were in this leak. The US is surprisingly poorly represented-- a good thing!

As a foreigner I would say this is a bad thing. Ultimately, it'll be the outcry (or lack thereof) in the US that will determine whether or not Facebook will start taking people's privacy more seriously.

It's still 32 million people, that's huge. But you're totally correct there.

Given that the overall share of US accounts on Facebook is in the same range (FB has 2.6 billion users in total), I would say the US is represented exactly as expected.
