The technical details of the implementation may be critical. How specifically are the thoughts shared.
Right at this moment I am commenting on LW from my work. My colleague in the same room has been loudly speaking on the phone for the last half hour, so I am completely unable to focus on any work anyway. Hardly able to focus even on reading LW. -- If telepathy would be anything like this, I would avoid it as hell.
Loss of privacy is one aspect, loss of silence (which I consider critical for my sanity) would be another one.
Facebook-like: your thoughts and/or feelings are set on "public", but you are not forced to read everyone's timeline. So, loss of privacy: yes. Loss of silence: no.
