>I feel it's worth pointing that facebook makes it easier to identify and locate people who end up in prison without trial and so on. Can you identify one person that Facebook has identified who has wound up sentenced to prison without a trial? No? Didn't think so. I'm not a defender of Facebook and have posted critically elsewhere in this comment thread about FB data-mining. But the grandparent post has it right: Facebook != the government. Facebook wants to show you ads to buy stuff you don't need. The government wants to arrest you, strip search you, and imprison you for smoking a plant it decreed is unlawful, or transferring a series of bits it decreed is unlawful.
