I could not believe that the government is allowed to use corporations like Facebook to collect sensitive information. It's a scam, basically.

Its true. Did you know that the NSA records and filters all phone conversations? Billions have been spent building and managing the huge storage facilities for that, and AT&T and other big US phone companies recently admitted that they cooperate with the US government in that respect. You don't think that they don't routinely record the stuff on facebook? People actually volunteer their own personal information for governemnt intelligence agencies to just record and store.

Did you ever notice that Yahoo now asks for your phone number so that you're able to retrieve your account if you lost your password? Where to you think that goes?

You can be sure that if you ever get divorced the lawyers have already looked for dirt on your facebook and online profiles.

Criminals, the CRA and IRS all love facebook. Truly amazing how stupid people can be.

Thank god for The Onion! I can't believe the government allows them to expose how gullible the public is!

Are you saying you never heard of any of this before you read this thread?

That facility in Utah, has the capacity to keep on record every human conversation in the world for the next 100 years they say.

All you fear-mongers can make up your own mind and go hide in a cave if you are so paranoid.

Gov't agencies collecting info is nothing compared to the manipulation of information you get to see.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Whenever social media sites ask me for my phone number as a way of connecting or retrieving passwords, I decline.

This is not a conspiracy. These are question of what is the law, what is the responsibility of government and how much will citizens let it get away with.

It's like you guys never heard of Edward Snowden.
