How Personal is Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in Google & Facebook

My wife is a sci-fi fanatic and strongly believes teleportation and AI will be at our disposal in the years to come. She is in fact looking forward to the day when aliens or the machines will take over and she will throw a party for every one who's never agreed with her. Ok! now what’s that got to do with facebook & Google? Its all about data eventually... if Decepticons can find Dr. Witwicky's broken spectacles on eBay and catch hold of his grandson, anything seems possible with the amount of data you are uploading/sharing on facebook & Google. Its time you ensure your grandchild’s safety, if ever Decepticons had to look for your flowered shorts to track their power source in Google maps and locate your grandson instead.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is a growing concern in social media and without a governing authority/regulatory body to restrain SM, don't leave it on assumptions. Sharing is not emailing; it is not even close to that. Social Media likes your daily life a lot and they are competing to get more out of you, they are enabling you every day to share more, to watch more shared stuff and share it further. The growth of these websites have got a lot more to hide than it seems.
