Tut tut tut... You must be a criminal of some sort. Off to the gulag
with you!

On a related note, for those who like him, Eben Moglen just did an
excellent series of talks: http://snowdenandthefuture.info/
Part III in particular talks about the "ecological" threats posed by
the practises of companies like facebook - they're pretty obvious,
but he does a nice job of putting them in a broader context.

To be frank I have no idea why people flock to it. Ignorance, I
presume. Browsing the web nowadays feels like having engineers
and advertisers constantly shouting "fuck you" at me.
