Julian Assange has warned that global surveillance of citizens will soon be 'unavoidable' thanks to social media and online applications of official documents such as passports.

I couldn't agree more. I wouldn't stop at Facebook, though. There are a myriad of "social media" outlets that people plaster their kids all over. Every time I see some kids face, especially with a name attached, on any of these outlets, I think about those databases that are sucking them up. It's bad enough we walk down just about any street and you're photographed more than you'll ever know. Even in small towns, people have security cameras all over the place, that are internet connected...

And school yearbooks. Our library keeps the local schools yearbooks.

Even if you don't have your picture in Facebook or any other media you can be found through many different ways. Public records are all online, court records, some places have your full name and date of birth, enough to locate even how many traffic tickets you ever had.

When I look for commercial property I want to talk to the owner, I usually find them after going through corporate records and public records, then cross reference to other places until I find their number, by then I know all about them.

It's all out there , pictures don't make a difference, you just have to know how to access the information.

When I worked for the Florida Department of Corrections, the camp I worked at housed the largest population of sexual predators in the state. Anyone who puts information about their family anywhere it can be accessed by such men is insane. When working, we didn't use our first names or nick names. We didn't talk about where we lived, what we drove, what we did for recreation. ....no pet descriptions, no religious preferences, etc., etc, etc. and ABSOLUTELY no information about family members or marital status whatsoever. I know people put all kinds of information on social media. They are foolish to do it. Some predators are genius level criminals. Dangerous doesn't even begin to describe them.

One thing about being a Realtor, you quickly become a pretty good private detective. I always look up clients and customers before I deal with them and glean anything I can that may be useful at the bargaining table. There are usually a ton of resources out there and Facebook is just one of many...
