Spreading Tendrils

congratulations to the governments & the private enterprises who seek to spy & reap the benefits of those who offer themselves up to you on a silver platter called facebook--- it must have been hard(er) back in the day to get information on people who may or may not have wanted to give it up to you--- after all, there had to be money & time spent, employing agents to sift through documents & build files on people, but today, citizens do it for you! this must drive you both to ecstasy. with names, addresses & all the relationships between people being freely deposited into the well o’ zuckerberg, the spreading tendrils of influence into the lives of individuals seems both constant & without end, for the “need” to be socially networked becomes the norm rather than the exception & it’s gotten to the point that because people update their facebook accounts so quickly, revealing everything about them in real time, well hell, you don’t even need to tap the phones anymore! but one goes about their facebooking innocently--- they tell themselves “i have nothing to hide” “i’ve done nothing wrong” so volunteering every aspect of their lives to the company who collects information from the citizens of the empire doesn’t seem like something to worry about & those who say that it is, get deemed paranoid conspiracy fanatics, so it continues & US intelligence agencies get their work done for FREE & as the database grows so does the file on you, until the day your card gets pulled.
