Hello All,

Interesting, Facebook has a back door for Government. As do many other Social Media sites.

Don't forget if you use a smartphone, apps spy on you as well. there is an app from cydia called

Protect My Privacy it shows you what your app is accessing on your smartphone HD.

Hope this is useful,

Regards,
