    Whistleblower Edward Snowden's view on Facebook's data leak. In short, if we aren't proactive now, we can't change it later.

    Anyone posting on FB might as well just open their bank account information to everyone as well. When my grandson was on there, I didn't need to read about where he was going where every hour of every day. G mail is just as bad. Both are collection agencies.

Even linking to other "benign" lists of innoucous readers.

    Has anyone noticed the number of companies issuing revised privacy policies since Facebook's clandestine tactics were revealed?

    VERY interesting and VERY disappointing! I have long suspected that G favors websites using their ad program. Turns out their algorithms are stacked too. Everyone should see this 60 Minutes segment...!!!
