Yep I agree but since I don't use facebook no problem for me. Yet how many people do use facebook for the government, a dictator to use and abuse.

Anyone who thought using social media wasn't going to lead to this needs to have their head examined.

And it's getting worse. I've been on sites where they ask you to enter your facebook id/pw to advance further into their website.

I don't do social media..never have. I worked in this industry and on projects that led me to believe that what is happening today would occur.

Is it spying when you put all your information out for the world to see?

You can always create a second Facebook account using fake name and information, and use that one to enter those sites that require it. If those are the kinds of sites you want to go to anyway.

That looks to have caused some major security problems. Very possible there was intentional agenda with that consolidation.
