Government Accessing FB...

... I don't know the whole story as have just heard this report on the radio but whaaaaat?

Apparently, as of April 6th the government will have access to any Facebook account and all your private chats/conversations/photos etc (even those you have deleted).

They're saying it's to help track terrorists... which I'm sure it will do but talk about Big Brother invasion of privacy!! I have nothing to hide but I'm certainly not comfortable with the notion someone I don't know can access everything I have on FB. I've purposefully limited a lot of my FB to certain friends so others canny access it!

*not particularly happy*

I know anything you put on the internet is never going to be 100% secure but this... I just don't like this. One step too far.
