    It might be someone who wants to go after people precisely like you.
    Can't believe this could happen is Sweden. In some countries - maybe. But it always surprised me, how quick the men, just had acquired the power could find and address their opponents. This is probably because their opponents are people who were in power for decades, and they left too much of paper work. So what can we do with Snowden or without: may be only amend to the constitution: "And your mail can and will be read." (And anywhere several video cameras will be pointed at you, of course)

    And answering my own question: I still believe that all companies making biggest social networks just want the money. Nothing personal.

    The companies do but they will sell it if they are greedy enough or let the Government obtain what they want. Most of them are owned by individuals or a few people or a few own and control the corporation.

    Yeah, Sweden is one of the countries I could see easily violating all kinds of rights. They are another country in bed with the USA and their closest allies.

    The internet is one of the last bastions of freedom so it's a threat to the Government and politicians so naturally, they would want all your info. People think, bah, it's just some facebook crap but talk about easily obtaining info. How often do they get the opportunity for FREE, VOLUNTARILY GIVEN information?!? People miss the big picture as usual.
