Facebook Was The Ultimate "Honey Pot" For Your Personal Information - Those Of You On Facebook Have Been Assimilated Into The BORG!

I was over at Voice of Russia (VOR) and saw this article:

“Mass Facebook ‘suicide’: ‘we cannot completely avoid services we don’t trust’ – Euro-MP,”

September 18 by Angela Davis (interesting name…) a rather prolific correspondent at VOR.

This article details what may become a mass exodus from social network sites like FaceBook. I never had an account there, but as you know, millions and millions are “served” world-wide. The Exodus stems from reports that NSA et al has been spying on facebook users.

Quote:
Virtual identity suicide is growing as internet users start quitting social networks over privacy concerns. A recent inquiry of Vienna University reveals that about 9 million Americans and two million Britons deleted their Facebook profiles after recent reports of NSA’s spying activities on the internet. Amelia Andersdotter, a Swedish politician and Member of the European Parliament (MEP), elected on the Pirate party list, gave the Voice of Russia an exclusive interview in which she talked about the multiple reasons for Facebook suicides and the pros and cons of NSA surveillance. According to Andersdotter, cyber-surveillance is one of the most prominent examples of ‘internet militarization’ which has to be stopped if we wish to live in a ‘brighter future’.

Q: Do you think that mass quitting will be picking up speed? What could that lead to?
Andersdotter: What we are seeing is a global breakdown of trust, systems that we were expected to be satisfied using for schools, healthcare, our social life contacts with our families, our friends, all of this, turns out that they are not trustworthy. We do our banking on the internet and the NSA clearly undermines the entire civil and market society that we have tried to build on the internet because it is nice to build stuff together.
And so I think this is also partially the motivation for Mr. Snowden to reveal these things that this is undermining the fabric of society when security agencies, not only the NSA but also in other countries in Europe and god knows where, they are undermining the fabric of what it means to have a civilian space where civilians interact peacefully in order to bring a better tomorrow. We need people to trust in that because if they cannot trust in that, that is very bad.

Yeah, we all thought we were getting a freebie; turns out though, it came at a very high price, and now that people know what that price is, they are thinking, I thought it was fun and all, but now not so much.

what was it the Mariner said, “Nothing’s free in Waterworld.”
