ValleyVag has an article about how a facebook gave an employer access to an employee’s private profile.  The employee was a legal gun owner and had pictures of himself with his gun on his profile and guess what happened next?  The employer saw the pics and fired the employee.  Your private profile isn’t as private as you think, check out facebook’s EULA.

This just strengthens the facebook conspiracy theory I saw online sometime ago about why facebook won’t get acquired.  In a nutshell its because the venture capitalists backing facebook are affiliated with the American government’s intelligence departments.  With the amount of money going into national security what is a few billion dollars to them?  Facebook gives them all the data they want: where you went to school, who you know, what your political views and religious views are.  Since Facebook is a social platform most of the data is real and reliable.
