Yes we’ve come a long way from the old days when hackers were known as those guys who went to the phone box, and pulled out a recorder with a tape and be able to teleconference with his friends in japan and south-America. We are in the web 2.0 age when “Social Networking Websites” are the place that everybody is now at, you could now keep in touch with your friends, family, and even enemies on a second to second basis because of the way social networking websites have been engineered to suit our mobile telephones.

Share a Photos, Tag someone in one of your photos, yes help big brother to track you down and your friends. Why not use facebook, and allow everyone to know what your doing, where you are, and even what your about, yeah its a cool tool for employers, universities, and even your enemies to know your background. Don’t you think that it brings a smile to your boss face when he sees you out on your mates sofa, with your hand in a bowl of warm water pissing in your pants, with a sign reading “shag me” and you and your best mate from accounting are tagged in a university photo with two under aged girls in a house party trying to get your freaks on; yes i think that what it takes to get into Harvard.

Social Networking Websites or as i like to term them as “SOCIAL TRAPS” are the stomping grounds for all those people who aren’t doing much with their life but have a few good photos and think hey! let me show the world how dull i am, let me expose myself to the global community, and all the authorities so that they can come kick my door in at 3 in the morning because they see me smoking the fattest spliff ever, and see my six 10ft tall ganja trees in the background.

These are just a few of the fantastic things that Social Networking websites can do for you.

Imagine it on your future ex wife face when she goes to change her status from single to married after coming back from your honeymoon, and she adds the guy you introduced her to at the wedding, only to be “accepted” and browse his photos to see an “album” called BACHELOR WEEKEND and sees the cover photo of you at your bachelor party, “tagged in a photo” with two women in very compromising positions with you naked with your underwear in your mouth and your eyes blindfolded with a bra, i think the only question she’ll ask you is “Who’s bra is that?”

No I think that its absolutely amazing when you can message someone instantly it’s so easy when its on the Internet, because when your wife wants to know where you are at 10AM in the morning and she can send you an IM instead of a noisy phone call to interrupt that meeting with your boss.

There used to be a name for this a long time ago when pagers and cellphones were the new technologies in the neighbourhood, even tough they were built like phone booths and bricks “the electronic tag”. Now in 2009 i have reinvented the word “the Internet leash”.

It’s so easy nowadays to become a slave to the social Internet media available on the Internet. However it is fact that the POLICE – FBI – CIA – SCOTLAND YARD – METROPOLITAN POLICE – INTERPOL or BABYLON SYSTEM, whatever you refer to them as in your area, are able to gain your information with ease. How do i know this? Read the terms and agreements…

- “Facebook may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of the Facebook service through the operation of the service (e.g., photo tags) in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience.

By using Facebook, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States” -

And to quote even further: “We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Facebook service or using the Facebook name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.”

So yeah! why not give the authorities an easy way to gather those photos of you smoking weed, and your mates cutting up that kilo of cocaine – I mean its so easy all you need to do is tag all your friends and then you all will be taking a holiday to babylon.

Enough Said! I’ll leave the rest to you to decide. But as for me i’m trying to stay off the grid till then.. see ya!
