FR POSTED----BBC ARTICLE: After downloading my Facebook data file from 2007, I noticed at the top of the list were recently-added phone numbers. So this means that every time I enter a new number into my phone's database, it somehow ends up with Facebook. Facebook is, in effect, monitoring me.

Monitoring is too polite of a word. Facebook is spying on its users. This is an outrage.

We also have to ask....

<><>did the Obama (and Hillary) campaign get any of this clandestine spying info?

<><> what exactly did Zuckerburg do to help Obama (and Hillary) get elected?

Gee ...what does Seth Rich’s FaceBook account contain?

Did FB rat-out Seth?

THE INVESTMENT ARMS of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time — and says it uses that information to predict the future.

The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come.
