You old people are funny - EVERYTHING you do is monitered - your phone calls, your mobiles, you "private PC' this here forum - EVERYTHINGfacebook is obvioulsy monitored too - who knows who and how - but at least I can catch up with friends overseas on it pretty easy...BIG BROTHER IS ALWAYS WATCHING AND LISTENING!!!!!
Of course FB won't remove your name. Your name on a list is the only capital that the company has, FB is worthless otherwise.
...On another note ;who cares if the government read my facebook page - if they are really interested in knowing that I had a bacon and cheese sandwhich for lunch - then so be it.
...Privacy today is pretty much a joke, unless you want to take your dog, gun, horse and move into the hills!
Looking thru this thread again, I think back to when I was a communication person with good ole Ma Bell. Southwester Bell Telephone to be exact. Watched the technology grow and always laugh when someone talks about privacy on their phone calls. Back then the calls were on lines thru the office. When testing circuits and hit one with conversation we were supposed disconnect immediately. With the new age and technology all calls were recorded electronically. Especially on call traces for the police, fire and government. All you guys/gals that think your cell phone is private, better think again, as my oldest grandaughter found out one day she tried to deny a charge brought against her. These computors and web sights are being monitored all the time and being recorded some where, even if you think they are not. A web sight address can be monitored and recorded just like the old land line phones. So if you don't want to get in trouble, think a little more about what you post or send on a computor. I hate to think how much more sophisticated it is now.
