They should get a load at people's Usenet posts except that most posters are probably too old to be looking for a job.

As far as Facebook goes, it's an invaluable tool for building a database for facial recognition systems. It's millions of photos of people with names attached to the faces. Law enforcement agencies are very happy with this. Facebook is also a boon for nosy people wanting to get the dirt on other people.

Generally speaking we'll lose our ability to hide ourselves and that's going to change the way we bring people to justice, good or bad, forever.
