Imagine if the Nazis had Facebook - the power of such a tool for nefarious activities is terrifying.Fortunately the modern day world lives in peaceful harmony with one another and governments are altruistic. Therefore Facebook and the entire social web - where everything is public knowledge - could never be a tool of oppression - right?
It's inconceivable to imagine that the Information Awareness Office would use personal Facebook profiles to predict national security threats - isn't it?
And our personal information would never be shared with credit card, pharmaceutical, and defense companies - correct?
Why would they possibly want to know where we are, what we're doing, who we're with, what we ate, our deepest fears, our loves, our hates, our employment history, our martial status, and our favorite ice cream flavor?
How could any of this information be useful if there's a massive energy shortage? Or terrorist attack? Or environmental meltdown? It's not like they would need to control large swaths of the population or anything.
