All the little pieces a pretty picture make..
If you were designing a way to pry information out people to use for identity theft, you'd have a hard time coming up with anything more effective than Facebook.
If you were the NSA or the KGB, and wanted to build a database on a person, with personal information and experiences of their history. Or if you wanted to know who knows who, what their relationships are, where they were born, and their mother's maiden name, you'd have a hard time coming up with anything more effective than Facebook.
It's supposedly a harmless social networking website, but one has to wonder. And one needs to be aware, that information is power, and power corrupts. All those little games where you 'confess' what you've done in your life, where you've lived, old pet names, likes and dislikes..
All that is the same information we use for our "security" questions, to verify we are who we say we are. Don't forget.. You don't know who is listening and watching, but rest assured. It's not just your friends and family. And it's impossible to know how that information may be used or abused.
They prey on our weaknesses and our trusting nature. They know we love to relive "the olden days", and show off that we know what an old potato masher looks like. "Anybody remember using one of these?".... Duh... Can you say "Click Bait"?
