Is Big Brother Watching?

It was just a few weeks ago, a co-worker whose son happens to be in the FBI told me that they caught a bank robber using technology he was not allowed to tell details about. He said, “Dad, you wouldn’t believe what they are using these days. In our country, because of technology, cell phones, computers etc... It makes it so easy to find someone”.

Facebook had, key word is had, an application to allow third –party developers to create polls. I went to cnn.com this morning to get the latest news and found that on Facebook, a poll was being taken to see if Obama should be killed or not. The Secret Service contacted Facebook and asked for the application to be pulled. Of course Facebook had already taken it off.

I don’t want to get into a political debate over issues that none of us really have control over at this point. The issues are the hands of the representative that we have elected. But I do want to warn everyone, you are being watched. Even participating in a polls and signing on-line petitions can come back to haunt you someday. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Internet interactivity and of course your cell phone ARE being watched!
