Which you voluntarily shared with Facebook and not a violation of the constitution. If you want privacy, don't share it on the Internet.

  This argument is weak because everything is "shared on the internet" at this point - including phone calls. How is this different than saying "if you want privacy don't share over the postal system" or "if you want privacy don't share over the phone"?

    > How is this different than saying "if you want privacy don't share over the postal system" or "if you want privacy don't share over the phone"? Posting something on a website is vastly different than direct person to person communication over the phone or mailing something. Phone calls and snail mail are transient things, the post office and phone company don't keep copies of your conversations and mail for later investigation whereas posting something on a website is communicating through a third party who stores everything in a database for later display, it's not transient, you'd be a fool to post something you want to remain private on Facebook, or any internet website. Phones and mail also enjoy legal protection that the Internet doesn't and Facebook isn't a carrier of transient information, it's a database that stores things possibly forever. They are nothing alike.
