Not sure who said this but it is true. If you could prove the government was actively spying on you you would be up in arms. Make a smart phone app and every one volunteer there information and activities. Big brother is watching those that volunteer.

Nah.

They're watching the ones who DON'T volunteer!!

The ones who volunteer are the easily led, and easily manipulated. No need to watch them.

WwoooooeeEEEEEEooooooo!!!

I was avid FB user.

I could always tell they spied on your internet activity most of which is probably as benign as placing appealling advertising in your feed.



I have found that everyone feels so connected on FB it can lead to depression.....because sometimes everyone else's lives seem so much more happy or fulfilling....it leads to one doubting their life?

I feel FB leaves people less connected? I do not call old friends as much on the phone or make effort to visit face to face. It's getting a little too artificial.

A family sitting around the living room, everyone on their smartphones.....we have been disconnected from one another.

It's actually quite freaky when you think about it....

The greatest collection of personal information EVER gathered.period.

How many children 12 years old and younger have their entire live's uploaded right from the delivery room up to their latest birthday's, complete with picture's!

Can you imagine your parent's voluntarily uploading your entire life into the matrix?

Freak show.
