5. Can you imagine all the personal information they are going to get about thousands of people?
This is insane and also proof that they have to cast a huge net in order to come up with something or anything. This bites.
I don't think this will stop with Twitter, Google or FB. I think they will go to other places also. Possibly even here I hate to think.
