I think it's very ominous and points to the desire to control the public. So easy to do...

I have a phony FB account that allows me to view other people's profiles (depending upon how open they leave them). I will NEVER have a FB. I once looked at someone's account whom I knew and her wall was exposed. I know that was a security lapse. I think smart phones are crazy, too.
