Seriously, if we attorneys want truth about a client or some want dirt on a defendant, they hit social media sites first. Facebook posts have been the major proof of a crime in Hunting and Gaming Prosecutions. In matrimonial actions. Potential employers check out one's facebook to see if one was foolish enough to post a pic of themselves inebriated. It comes up in murder trials as criminals can be stupid enuff to give their girl the bracelet of a woman they just killed. And said GF is seen on facebook wearing that bracelet. In so many ways, social media can get one in trouble by their own words and actions.
IRS, and some division of the DeA are on it also.
I was presented with links from same several years ago. It seemed the "vendors" had some affiliation with Academia. I suspected students and teachers were usurping meds for private usage and attecmpting to sell same on facebook.
The gentleman whom shared with me had success with one or two of the facebook vendors. But that was a few yrs back and he lives a world away from most people on this forum. (He is not in USA.)
But, because we have villains attempting to do harm to our country by recruiting people thru social media, the gvt is rite there.
It is taking a very large chance. Law enforcement is legally allowed to send info to criminals MIA about a lottery win they made. And, the people show up and are busted. I know LE uses so much from facebook and others to compile knowledge about a person. And then decide whether to prosecute.
GE: I have a FB acct. On lockdown. Only my nephew and two nieces are on it. It is just a good way for the younger members of our family to reach out to a rather cool aunt. But, maybe try again. Start a new account. But, you must change all settings to private. I allow me only and sometimes my four friends on there to see a photo or posting. But, I can send messages to my family without it going thru gmail. I can leave word on FB for my nieces, and they will have their mom call me when i need to check on her.
So its good to have on lockdown for emergency.
I think its an horrific idea to attempt to buy from FB vendors. I read and listen to legal cases all day long as i do this forum. All the authority figures in life check one's facebook page first when doing research. All of them. They are paid to read FB for violations of law, taxes, recruitment of americans into bad activities. So not worth it. Humble opinion and all. And, a helluva lot of info I have received.
