[BNM] Death to s/facebook/fedbook and the great CIA socialdatamining exercise

[Chris Billett]

As niec and poignant as that poem is, it's not particularly appropriate,
and they're not going to be coming for me unless vast natural gas and oil
reserves suddenly and unexpectedly spring up underneath Clarendon Road...
and even then, there are things far more important than whether or not the
feds know that my (occasionally inaccurate) relationship status is still
set to single.

Besides, if they find oil under my flat I'll just accept Shell's friend
request and retire to a beach in Micronesia. It's Web 3.0, baby!
