Facebook may be more annoying but what the political ruling class in Washington is doing is far worse. I don't have a FB account because I value my personal security. I have this choice. With the government there's only the Hobson’s choice of moving out of the country. I foresee the government slowly ratcheting any remaining privacy out of existence.
- Obamacare is stripping off all medical privacy.
- Patriot act has stripped all financial privacy.
- Cameras are being installed in public places at an alarming rate tracking all of our movements.
- Obama gave the National Counterterrorism Center the authority to collect any and all data from anywhere. No warrants necessary.
- Indefinite detention without trial, even of US citizens.
What’s left? This is a Stasi wet dream.
- mmariani 14y agoAll people want is to be safe. In order to do whatever they want, the powers that be need to feed fear to people. An enemy that threatens people's safety is needed, found, and fought. Whatever the cost is, people can feel safe again. You're going to see this pattern throughout history. The question is... What comes next?
- rayiner 14y agoNone of those things are even remotely true, but I don't see how pointing out the facts is going to dissuade you from believing conspiracy theories.
