I totally realize that nothing posted on social networks is private. That is why I, and a large subset of other like minded people, don't use them at all. Personally, I prefer to have social contact in a real life manner. Secondly, even if you wish to expose your life online through google or facebook, the fact that those companies willingly give up your personal info to the feds is what is most worrisome.

How many of you actually use Google+?
Companies like Google give up the information because they see it as the path of least resistance. They need enough backlash from users to make sure that isn't the case. I see that you are using steemit which is also a social network. The feds don't even have to ask to get what you post here. Every other social network should be treated the same no matter how much privacy they claim because even if they aren't willing to give up the info, can you really trust them to be hack proof? Or that policies or laws won't change at a later date?

That is correct. I know without a doubt that everything I say here is available on the blockchain forever. However, I doubt any significant percentage of facebook/google users understand or realize that they are essentially giving the 5-eyes access to anything they post. How many know the extent to which profiles of their life are created and shared (or with whom)? Big difference in my book.

Ignorance is no excuse and they certainly should know even though many do not. That kind of information is widely available and Facebook has been around going on two decades. You would think that the number of high profile hacks that happen on a regular basis would give people a further clue.
