BE WARNED ... Big Brother is watching you ... on line and within social media. George Orwell in both "Animal Farm" and in "1984" wrote about an over intrusive government where there were "thought police" and probes into a citizen's total life. Yet here we are some 22 years after the 1984 date and we have just about everything he talked about.

It still fascinates me how people expect privacy while posting comments and personal information to public forums. Don't want the government to see it? Then don't put it out there for them to see. Posting comments on here, or Facebook, or Twitter, or whatever social media site you use, is like shouting the same thing from a street corner.

Um, whats the problem here? They currently go through financial records and ask you and your acquaintances every question about your social life so why wouldn't they access stuff that you post online? If you put on a professional face at work and during investigations and then go home and bash the government or lie about foreign contacts, why wouldn't they want to know about it?
