I understand if this is downvoted to hell for repeating an overposted topic to begin with, but I need ammunition....

Reddit, I catch bit and pieces of your stance (for/against) facebook, but never a full rundown of exactly what facebook's/google's intentions are and how it can be hurtful to social networkers in the long run. I am absolutely Intrigued by this subtle (but radical) movement of  privacy invasion via social networks, "Personalized" advertisements, and how quickly "reality" tv is spreading and infecting our time slots on Tv ever since reading *In Persuasion Nation* by George Saunders.

 I've done research but I would like to know YOUR take on this issue since it is most likely going to be more honest and unprocessed than these sites. I've been trying to explain this privacy issue with facebook/google to a few *close* friends, but there are just certain questions I currently can't answer. This is where you come in...
