One such issue that many groups complain about is the expertise – or lack thereof – many of the administrative staff have to make decisions in specific instances. As many administrators that hold these jobs don’t in fact have expertise in the field they are regulating, their decisions are very easily manipulated by those that do (ie, DOD, DOE, EEOC, NSF, etc.).

Many such employers almost never enforce their contracts preventing employees from checking social networks, reading email, or surfing the web as almost all employees do at some point. When they want to fire someone for other reasons (personal or otherwise), it creates a very easy way to fire someone without benefits (IMHO).

Copyright holders like the RCAA sue people for tens of thousands of dollars for downloading single records, even though they aren’t suing 99.99% of the other people that do it much more often.

Similarly, won’t this allow law enforcement agencies to start convicting people of doing things they don’t even realize are illegal because they can’t find evidence for other crimes?

1. While Facebook states that the information belongs to the User, it also states that the User allows Facebook to use the information

2. As an user you can download all of your data. That means it is discoverable in a lawsuit. So ALL of that data, is kept until you delete your account. And all of the rants/vents, pictures, opposing counsel might have access to in a legal process (assuming it is relevant, etc).

3. Facebook provides in its Privacy Terms that they use the data for many purposes, including:
(a) to see how effective their ads are for you and others; and
(b) for internal operations (such as troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, and service improvement)
