    Yeah it's pretty thought provoking. Was listening to Assange the other day state the the CIA/FBI or whatever agencies have their very own facebook interface now, they can pull up info on anyone they wish. Apparently it was costing FB to much time and money retrieving requested information for these agencies, that they simply gave them full access. Kinda unnerving.

    You need a mobile number to open a gmail account now, for retrieving facebook passwords etc etc.. The whole system is connected. They know where you are, who your with, what your doing, what you think, what you say and probably what you're likely to do in future.

    Just on the last bit, you don't need to include your number on your FB or Google accounts.

    Not yet anyway :pac:

    Were all pluggged in wether we like it or not. Sure just look at google earth for example.

    Again, as with all these conspiracy theories, who really gives a ****e if you've nothing to hide?
    Even then, if you are "afraid" of the powers that be having access to your location, and details about you then don't:
    1. Own a mobile phone of any description.
    2. Use e-mail.
    3. Use social networking.


    Christ those agencies having access to view my Facebook page, I am quaking in my boots at what they could do with that information.........

    They might use the information to sell to companies who will viciously target you with advertising. That spam filter won't protect your email for long.

    Anyone who maintains 1984 is here has clearly not read that book. For starters, if it was here, you wouldn't be able to question things as you're doing now, without getting arrested.

    Aspects of Minority Report are here all right though - the targeted advertising thingie.

    This is what they could do.
    Torture in Bahrain Becomes Routine With Help From Nokia Siemens


    The interrogation of Abdul Ghani Al Khanjar followed a pattern.

    First, Bahraini jailers armed with stiff rubber hoses beat the 39-year-old school administrator and human rights activist in a windowless room two stories below ground in the Persian Gulf kingdom’s National Security Apparatus building. Then, they dragged him upstairs for questioning by a uniformed officer armed with another kind of weapon: transcripts of his text messages and details from personal mobile phone conversations, he says.

    If he refused to sufficiently explain his communications, he was sent back for more beatings, says Al Khanjar, who was detained from August 2010 to February.

    “It was amazing,” he says of the messages they obtained. “How did they know about these?”

    The answer: Computers loaded with Western-made surveillance software generated the transcripts wielded in the interrogations described by Al Khanjar and scores of other detainees whose similar treatment was tracked by rights activists, Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its October issue.
