There was a time where the default assumption was functionality created tracking opportunities. Nowadays, it's more the opposite. Social media have always been on the forefront of monetizing data, but the same data in the hands of governments is used differently. My point is that the way you/we feel towards Facebook, the entire world is increasingly feeling about most, if not all, US tech.

I know people who won't use Israeli or Chinese-made tech for fears of sabotage. US tech is quickly making its brand in that market.

It was originally called LifeLog and sponsored by the military as a data collection system to help them identify terrorists.
