Quote# 60320

Recently I deleted Facebook because I was starting to realize they just are starting to know too much. Think about it. They know you and all your friends. They know how you met. They know what you do on the weekends. They know where you are, where you work. They have tons and tons of pictures you post every week, consisting of every aspect of your life.

Then the next question arises in me. What is Facebook really for? Surely all of this info is just being used for marketing alone, is it? Well after browsing around the internet for awhile, it turns out it isn't all they want to use it for. The government is behind the funding for Facebook. Ultimately, behind the government, and CIA funding is a company whose logo looks a lot like another one I know, don't you think? Coincidence? I really doubt it. Their slogan in latin is "Scientia potentia est" which translates to "Knowledge is Power". Again, does this not alarm anyone here?

Don't put anything on the internet you don't want people to know.

Problem solved.

Who the fuck is this elusive "they" starting to know too much about you on Facebook? Your friends?

And the government funds Facebook?

...say whaaat now? I pretty sure Obama didn't give Facebook a bailout or put them in the stimulus package.

it's your fault for posting every little detail of your life online.

though he does have a point, facebook could be easily renamed "stalker book: why bother following someone home everyday when they can do it for you".

Aussie Immigration Dept views social networking sites to track people who have overstayed their visa, or are working illegally, etc.

I'd imagine other Govt agencies do elsewhere, too.

Never put anything in the net you don't want seen by every man and his dog.

Why do people become paranoid of logos looking similar? If there was a big conspiracy I think they'd be smart enough not to plant gigantic clues like that.

If you saw what the real data mining companies know about you, your family, and your neighborhood, your head would explode.

Facebook is the least of your worries, don't volunteer information you don't want known idiot!

Ever notice how the really crazy ones always advise readers to "Think about it" when launching into a diatribe about their latest bout of delusional thinking?

Pssst...sh1fty...Facebook only "knows" what you TELL them...

And exactly why should Facebook, the CIA or anyone else care about your miserable little life?

Well considering the pictures people take of themselves using drugs. If they were really using facebook for such a thing, wouldn't there be more drug arrests?

I really think the cops should have someone just flipping through facebook and myspace for that very reason.

Lesseee, from information gleaned from my Facebook page, the guvvimmint knows my age and that I like Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, my favorite bands include Aerosmith, Rush, and the Rolling Stones, and I've read the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. All this is a gold mine to marketers, but why would the CIA give a shit that I know, "Wait, I was going to make espresso?"

Like the CIA gives a crap about the stuff on your wall. Unless you're Bin Ladin, then they may pay attention to his face book page.

Um...no. As pathetic as Facebook is, it's not a government spy tool.

This wouldn't be half bad if they were concerned about other people who use Facebook having ready access to this information, rather than the website itself. Oh...and the whole "insinuating that it is a government conspiracy" thing...

Someone needs to move out of his parent's basement, and have to deal with some real life issues. Must be nice to have so few real problems that you can make up shit like this.
