Really? I didn't know that.
What about Facebook?

[siljaline]

Everything you ever wanted to know about Facebook, but were afraid to ask.

exactly!

like we all don't have enough problems going to the ends of the earth avoiding stalkers in order to maintain our privacy right and yet the rubes/attention ~ Snipped as per TOS ~ that use Facebook are to dumb to realize that the government trolls that site constantly. The best example of FB, twitter, Utube, ect stupidity is that people actually post about their crimes on it and then get busted and wonder how they got caught.

If I was a criminal I couldn't stand to work with stupid people!

I don't see the point is complaining about something you can control. Why boycott facebook and twitter. It's the perfect platform for doctoring (controlling) how other people perceive you. Opportunities like these don't come around often ... you might as well take advantage of the stupidity of people like employers that actually think your Facebook profile is better then a background search. If law enforcement wants to waste their time reading what I post online ... I see it as an opportunity to entertain myself.

I'm pretty sure that's what Google was designed for as well.

That's how that made their millions, after all.

Well, personally I don't think people should expose their personal lives in public platform like Facebook if they still know the word "Privacy" for God sake!
