Facebook Government Data Access

intelligence agencies love facebook. it won't happen.

What does Facebook have to do with the US government?

Although this seems like a popular opinion here, the only thing that concerns me about Facebook is the potential for the govt to get access to the data fb has on me.

"Government can just steal Facebook's data" is definitely one more reason to limit what Facebook can gather and process.

You have the weird assumption that government works for the people.

Any private person can target any subgroup and we know that FB transferred this data to different companies in the past, the probability that some government somewhere that wanted the FB data does not have it yet (maybe a bit outdated) is Zero.Let's assume you block all applications that are suspected of relations with CCP (no proof, no trial) this won't stop CCP just buying this data from

Atleast facebook, google and reddit protect our data from our government...
