It's very true: This US government feels strongly that they have a homeland security interest in seeing our private lives. Now it's very clear that the private industries are using those digital lives as tests of possible merit to prejudge prospective students, employees, contractors and the imagination goes on from there. You may not get into that school if your profile is "questionable."
On the Huffington Post today, March, 3, 2015, a story is revealing what could have been predicted by an online behavioral analyst beginning some time ago. The future is arriving very quickly!

Booo FaceBook! Not reasonable. Publishing under attack in the twenty-first century. What's old is what's new again as society again fails to recognize the repetition of history's mistakes as we gain access to the ability to write more.
But, we all must consider that all of our digital presences on all of these commercial for profit social networks today is tantalizing knowledge to an institution we may need in our lives. Government is one of those institutions that we have some control over, if we can turn out to participate and protect ourselves.
That knowledge is like holding water in front of a dehydrated animal and so it is incredibly seductive for purposes of managed quality control and the unstoppable urge to make your institution successful.
That your social networking accounts can strongly reveal the quality of human you will make and your behavioral predictability can be critically examined, is but a sad truth we should all get used to.

Please be kind. Be productive. ATTACK THE ARGUMENT NOT THE PERSON. If you are incapable of this please move-on and check your emotions. Remember: the First Amendment is FIRST because we will never grow to be a better nation IF FREE OPINION IS NOT ALLOWED! This is why we really love the United States.
