[BNM] Death to s/facebook/fedbook and the great CIA social data mining exercise

[Toby]

Well, conspiracy or not, I've always felt that theres something dodgy about
Facebook.

So whether or not its a ploy by the CIA to mine data about us all, there is
still data that holds personal information about us, our tastes in
music/film/books etc, who we know AND how we know them etc etc.....

Someone has that sitting on a server somewhere and can sell it to whoever
they want.

Thats what I object to.
