I guess the whole point of data mining these sites is for market research. The more the government knows about the people, the easier they can manipulate the population. It’s a bit like market research. In fact, it IS market research – the US government is a CORPORATION!

But hey, it’s all good, right?

Alan, would you be willing to divulge further details about that encounter? I am compiling an editorial for my site at MonopolyMen.com and it would be good to get a personal anecdote from someone who had experienced direct involvment with the data miners, rather than just talk about the potential risk. Email me at [rex} at monopolymen {dot] com.

I know. A government agent told me that I had written stuff that I shouldn’t have after a… visit. I removed it right away, but I know the gov tracks facebook from personal experience. No, it wasn’t the CIA, though.

Ya know what… If my favorite quotes, music, movies, and endless questionnaires about whether or not I prefer Pepsi to Coke are of that much importance to the government then let em have at it!

What the hell do people put on those sites that holds any significance anyway?! Your putting it out there for millions to see and then get upset that the government can read it too?

I don’t get it.

The worst part is how Facebook holds a gun to your head and forces you to input your personal information.
