"IRS checking out your Facebook and Twitter to 'HELP' keep you honest" Thanks, but no thanks ... I require no "help" to be honest!

Another reason never to post any personal information on Facebook or Twitter.
I don’t like this at all, but I also get the giggles when someone says it is an “invasion of privacy”. Facebook and Twitter are not private. Nothing you write online is really.
If you’re dumb enough to try tax evasion and then post incriminating evidence on social media, you deserve to go to jail.
Who is checking out the IRS to keep them honest?
Like clockwork, every April the IRS puts out some scary story just as those later filers and procrastinators are working on their taxes.
Do they expect us to believe they have roomfuls of agents trolling social media in the hope of finding tons of cheats?
It’s not an “invasion of privacy” if you put it out in public.
So if you don’t want the IRS to know about something, don’t publish it on the internet.
Fortunately, I’m not on FB & I don’t tweet
I don’t use Facebook and I don’t use Twitter and life is just fine.
IRS aside, if you don’t want something seen, then don’t set it to public on Facebook.
So the IRS needs just to just take a tip from the EPA and make up some names. Use some attractive "strangers" in your "town" to become friends with "your friends" and then send you a friend request.
If not on facebook, then at least on LinkedIn where people use such "unknown stranger" connections to network to the next ring of contacts within companies.
