The New York Times, among others — including a British parliamentary committee — are digging deep into the social media giant’s behaviour, and every passing day is a little bit darker. The simple message? You may have Facebook friends, but Facebook is not one of them.
Engadget: “Although it’s supposed to be restricted by surveillance rules at local, state and federal levels, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has built up a mass surveillance system that includes details on almost all US residents, according to a report from a major think tank.
