You're suggesting that's it's a honeypot op?.. For money, or for gathering names for addition to DHS's list of domestic terrorists?

I'm sure that Facebook is used as a 'list maker' for the gov't. Zuckerberg ILLEGALLY gave 0bama unfettered access to FB profile data for his organizers to use for the 2012 election, so I'm sure the DHS, FBI, CIA, IRS, etc., builds lists based on people's 'Likes', etc., for compiling lists of those who are potential resisters to the gov't ("domestic terrorists" as Napolitano once said).

Who knows who. Who belongs to which organizations. Who has what interests.

There’s simple apps which produce a network graph

Facebook is a honeypot, in my book.

So is Free Republic. We've all been on 'the list' for quite some time, so it doesn't make a damn bit of difference if you're on Facebook or not.
