Are you worried about your privacy on social media? If so, some new proposed legislation just may be some cause for concern. From our friends at Mashable:

High-ranking FBI officials and other government representatives have been meeting with Internet industry leaders to ask them not to oppose a proposed law that would give federal agencies backdoor access to social networking sites.

The proposed law would require social networking sites to implement coding that would allow for surveillance, and would also apply to instant messaging, VoIP, and high volume email providers. The law would update the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) of 1994 that right now just covers telecommunications and broadband networks.

The FBI says that expanding CALEA would help them keep pace with criminals, being able to survey and collect evidence as society moves to using more and more technology. Do you think that this law should pass and the FBI and other government agencies be allowed to view social networks for surveillance, or do you think this is the government overstepping its boundaries?
