They told us, "If there's something you don't want us to see, delete it now. You've been given fair warning."

See, to me, this can foster laziness. "Oh well, he didn't have anything on his Facebook so he must be OK." What they don't know is he drops acid on a nightly basis but is smart enough to not have a camera anywhere nearby.

And as far as the "what kind of people we have on our friends list" - that just sounds like code for racism/religious intolerance etc.
