In reply to the discussion: My friend likes to complain about the NSA spying on us (himself included) [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)7. Did he post his SS# and his Bank Account statements, because he may as well since
his 'records don't belong to him'. NSA and their hundreds of Private Corps have a prefect right to access them, so does anyone else, we are now told.
Are you supporting this massive surveillance of the American people?
And did you know that a lot of people chose NOT to belong to FB for the very reason they didn't trust them. So your position is that because some people made a foolish choice, the rest of us who did not, should have their information made available to a bunch of Private Corporations??? Speak for yourself and your friend, millions, billions actually, prefer to keep their personal business out of the hands of Private Corporations and of the Government.
