Are social networking being used for surveillance?\u00a0 In a word…yes.\u00a0 Is it legal?\u00a0 Yes it is.\u00a0 Anything that you put online is basically public information especially with Google!\u00a0 In the EULA for Google it very plainly states that it becomes the owner of that information.<\/p>\n

In an article published today on MSNBC<\/a>, it states that governments are pushing for the social networks to collect more information than they need for their own business purposes.<\/p>\n

So what exactly can be collected?\u00a0 Any time to place data on the internet, your IP address and location can be obtained.\u00a0 The information that you place out there can be obtained along with the time that it was posted.\u00a0 According to a recent article in the Washington Post<\/a>, Facebook’s new \u201cRead\u201d edge coupled with other technology gives the ability to see what you are doing online and serve up user specific information that it’s technology believes you would be most interested in.\u00a0 You don’t even have to click on a “like” button for this to take place.\u00a0 That sounds rather innocent on the surface doesn’t it.\u00a0 In order for this ability to take place, what you are doing has to be recorded in a database somewhere so that it can be queried to come up with future information to serve you.\u00a0 When you opt in to use the application, it begins to provide this individual content while collecting the data in order to provide the content.<\/p>\n

While I believe that Google and Facebook are just attempting to provide a better quality experience for internet users, I also know that data can be used in many different ways.\u00a0 As it points out in the MSNBC article, many governments and law enforcement are obtaining the information for their own purposes.\u00a0 According to the article, “Soghoian estimates that U.S. Internet and telecoms companies may receive about 300,000 such requests in connection with law enforcement each year \u2014 but public information is scarce.”\u00a0 The influx of requests are so taxing that “Every decent-sized U.S. telecoms and Internet company has a team that does nothing but respond to requests for information,” Soghoian told Reuters in an interview.<\/p>\n

What can you do about this?\u00a0 Basically, don’t post things on the internet that you wouldn’t be proud for your mom or grandmother to see.\u00a0 As you’re reading information, ensure that you are doing so responsibly.\u00a0 Most folks won’t have any issues with this; however, you need to be aware that where you go and what you do is being recorded in a database somewhere to be used at a later date.\u00a0 When you are opting into applications, make sure you are aware of how that information can be used.\u00a0 You don’t have to develop a phobia about it.\u00a0 Just be aware of what you are doing when logged into the internet.\u00a0 Ensure that others using your equipment are equally as responsible.\u00a0 The bottom line is to assume that what you put out on the internet is not private.\u00a0 After all, the internet is a public network.<\/p>\n
