This comes on the heels of taking down the Syrian gov&#39;s website ( for killing 2,000 protestors secretly since those particular revolts ), and tunneling into NATO db&#39;s...</p> <p>They charge FB with the fact that the company says they know more about their users than their families do. Well, that&#39;s not all that unusual &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; But the privacy stuff, FB selling stuff to police depts or just giving them info outright etc etc...</p> <p>They hacked all those gmail accts when google shut down their google+ account. But they didn&#39;t exactly wipe out google. They may, though, as result of the attack improved security (some) for googles users.</p> <p>Will they do it? They&#39;ve never really wiped out, in the totally gone sense, any website for good. </p> <p>They also say once FB is gone, they&#39;ll be putting up a truly secure social networking site. </p> <p>Not everyone in this loose collective is agreement about the FB attack. And there&#39;s so much disinformation between various sources that it&#39;s very difficult for the &#39;average&#39; google or fb user to know at various points who&#39;s just behind the scenes when on the internet. Chinese spies? Teenage hackers? Disgruntled workers? Alex Jones? &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; who knows?</p> <p>Shorter point: FB knows about the threat so maybe your account&#39;s safe, maybe it&#39;s not. But thought I&#39;d mention for anyone who may not have heard it yet. </p>
