LinkedIn: Another government pawn

Here's a revealing report from Der Spiegel concerning how LinkedIn became another tool for spies:

I think we will eventually discover that EVERYTHING electronic is being used to spy on us and steal our data. Why else would Wall Street and governments pour billions of dollars into entities like Facebook and Twitter when they didn't even have a revenue stream?

The untold story behind the spying is not so much the lack of privacy, but that something YOU own has been stolen so that someone else can be filthy rich.

Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.
