For anyone dumb enough to put their personal information out on their favorite social networks… This just in from the BBC… The US government has subpoenaed the social networking site Twitter for personal details of people connected to Wikileaks, court documents show. The US District Court in Virginia said it wanted information including user names, addresses, connection records, telephone numbers and payment details. As the BEEB’s correspondent puts it so well… If confidential details of overseas Twitter users are disclosed to the US authorities, how keen will an international audience be to trust this or other American social networks in future? I suppose you can always fall back on the world’s dumbest fucking rationale for ignoring government interference in your private life… If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear… Yeah, fucking right!!!
