One Last Thought on the NSA/Facebook

The data we put on Facebook isn't all "ours" - the internet isn't ours. Facebook has control over the data I enter there, and we have a free market choice to use Facebook knowing that. We're going into an era where the social contract of community via the internet will require a "voluntary" abridgment of rights, unless we either choose platforms that won't share data or radically curtail the gov'ts collection abilities. I think the former impossible because of economics, and the latter because of politics.
 
This isn't 1984 - it's Brave New World, but instead of Soma, we have cat videos.
