I'm with Schneier on this, it's hard to get worked up about the gov't scraping information an individual publishes publicly. The larger trend is obviously still disturbing.

Stuff I put on Facebook isn't public. It's shared among friends. It's like what I talk about with friends at a bar, or at my house - and if the government asked for recordings of my chit-chat with friends (or even asked whether I recorded conversations) I would be horribly bothered.

So I am horribly bothered. I will be writing Congressmen and donating to the EFF this weekend.
