Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 ------- Facebook is watching YOU Sun, 4 Apr 2010 11:48:10 -0700 Jan Slama <janslama This MONITORING of us, through Facebook, Twitter, etc, is one of the REALLY BIG reasons I avoid such public forums. Is BIG BROTHER watching? The IRS is! And who else might be? Read below. Facebook is watching YOU In a message dated 4/4/2010 10:56:45 A.M.

AGAIN.. ... another reason NOT to be on Facebook ........I know this person, personally, this is not gossip/urban legend ...... Saturday, April 03, 2010 11:52 PM Just had an interesting conversation with my son-in-law today. Thought it might be good to let others know about it. Don't know if you use Facebook or not, but this is pertaining to it. The FDA just approved the implantable human chip. My son-in-law was on Facebook reporting it and began a discussion with his Dad about their opinions on the passing and using of the chip. Keep in mind they were only voicing their opinions about the chip's usage (no foul language, etc.). Next thing he knows is he is getting an email from Facebook telling him they were pulling the whole conversation as well as him reporting the passing of the chip through the FDA. The reason? It was an 'inappropriate' subject area and comments. Okay, who is running Facebook that they would pull something as banal as news reporting and harmless comments. I know they just reported this past week that the IRS was actually using Facebook to find delinquent tax payers that have fallen off the radar. Hmmm, sounds a lot like they are 'using' Facebook for a lot of other things besides delinquent taxpayers. Its sounds like Facebook is being used for control purposes for subjects they don't want widespread knowledge generated .....especially negative comments. Also, one of their friends was on Facebook reporting the Health Care bill concerning the retired folks and her feelings about the bill's passage. Again, no cursing or inappropriate comments, but Facebook again deleted her comments. Reason? It was reported as being 'inappropriate' content. What? She didn't do anything but tell about the passage of this particular bill and what she felt it would do to all the retirees. They deleted it totally! Just like my son-in-laws conversation with his Dad! Do you know who 'owns' Facebook? Sure seems like some pretty heavy 'editing' on things that the government doesn't want anyone painting with negative overtones. Anyway, heads up if you use Facebook. Seems some very strange stuff is going on with it. If you feel it is warranted you might want to send out a general heads-up to those on your Friends list.
