Earlier this week I found an article about the concern for Facebook's users whom could possibly be friends with Federal Agents and not know it. More specifically the concern that these agents are using their Facebook friendship as a tool for spying. I think the bigger concern should be that Federal Agents are not the only ones spying, it was found that Government could even be using their privileges to spy. In another article, someone commented on how the Government is not only using Facebook, but also Twitter, Myspace, Craigslist and Wikipedia.
How would you feel if you found out that one of your actual friends or even just one of your "Facebook Friends" was using the information you post against you. Would you be upset? While, I know I have nothing specific to hide, I still believe that there should be a thicker line on privacy from the government. Or do you believe this is a good thing, as it could possibly help the country and our safety?
This is a bit creepy and I could see this one day being taken to court as it infringes on our right to privacy and freedom of speech. Of course if I knew I had the government watching me I would probably have fun with it and post irritating ridiculous post that they would have to read.
ReplyDeleteYes, I definitely agree that this is a bit creepy. But yes, it would also be fun to mess with them.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with what you both stated. Just because they have the access to view more information from your page, doesn't mean they should!
