they can see clearly now.
I just joined facebook.
I've resisted because there was no real need, I prefer privacy, but then I see a couple of favorite cousins there and I figure this is the best way to communicate with them.
So, I added most of my family that I can find, and a few long lost friends. What a great tool!
Except, now, people are starting to come out of the woodwork, and I don't really want much of that, so trying to find criteria for accepting "friends".
And even worse, facebook admin (and other faceless people) now have access to my history of connections. They are developing a database unheard of before, one that gives its owner extreme power, should it choose to exercise that. A few years of facebook, less privacy, a trend towards fascism, and then a bad president will be able to make himself dictator.
How worrisome is this?
