Joe:

Someday you decide you want to run for local office.

As your campaign starts to get under-way an anonymous envelope is delivered to your mailbox.

In it are recordings of your voice saying something you would rather the public not hear. “Get out of the race or else” the message says.

See how it can work?

What people are missing is that these "Data centers" are for the purposes of the raw meat for a "dossier" on anyone at anytime. Forever.

They serve no purpose of public good. Manners, civility, and discretionary judgement, the foundation of decency, are being replaced with algorithms bought by bidders for our souls.

I hear ya. I’m just saying that I and probably most average people like me are NEVER going to run for office or anything like that.

If they want to read all about me and old friends posting stupid funny stuff to each other or fishing pics, they would be wasting their time.

But trust me, I do understand your point. On the whole, I dont trust much to facebook.
