Why is this news? Some people use FaceBook, some people don’t - so what.

Call me paranoid if you must, but I see this as the first step of a campaign to paint those of us who don't submit to "voluntary" surveillance of our online activity as "suspicious" and "secretive."

Because you can’t use facebook and credibly make an argument about the importance of individual privacy. It would be like bringing a prime rib dip to a PETA rally.

Google is naked about saying, “Whatever you send us is ours” and then makes it so the ONLY way you can sync an Android is with their Google Docs Suite.

This is where the money is for them. If you hold out, well, ‘it doesn’t fit the plan’.

As you know, one can be active on FB under a pen name. The general public has no idea who you are. FB does have an email addy, but I use GMail for that.

I think the cat is out of the bag regarding any expectation of privacy in this country, especially on the internet. Your information is readily available via local and state government records like real estate taxes, etc.

Public Notices
