To put this in more explicitly dystopian terms: If you say something on Facebook that its flunkies deem "improper communication," you may be added to a secret blacklist of people whose every move is tracked by a company with the world's largest database of personal information. pic.twitter.com/NjOpf1tb3h

"Three people familiar said that almost every Facebook employee who gets fired is added to the list, and one called the process "really subjective." Another said that contractors are added if they get emotional when their contracts are not extended."https://t.co/rhaC1aGNy9

Facebook keeps a BOLO (be on lookout) list of people considered to be a security risk that its security team tracks https://t.co/ao4hOqVh6R

Because of course the unhinged people who threaten Facebook or its employees are avid users of Facebook. Of course they are.https://t.co/Nh3qs597Yl

I have issues with the ways Facebook collects data, monetizes it, and adopts addictive patterns in its UX.

Using data to protect physical security of employees and office buildings in a world filled with, well, the kind of people who post insane shit on Facebook?

Cool with it. https://t.co/HQ9gvrQ8hy

the creepiest part of the BOLO story is that FB used the same surveillance system to spy on interns who were pretending to work from home but were actually on a camping trip pic.twitter.com/OCwbRgEg7y

My latest on FB: If Facebook deems a user to be a threat, it adds them to a "be on lookout" roster kept by its security teams and can use their location data on the company’s mobile apps or their IP address on its websites to track them https://t.co/GZSfBcpFVI tip @Techmeme

There's something wrong in the world when my thought after tweeting that is 'has Facebook put *me* on a list?' I mean, it's unlikely but the fact I even think it is a problem.

Your name might be on Facebook's blacklist, and you would not know it. If you are a former Facebook employee or contractor, watch out: Your colleagues may have secretly added you, and when you try to come visit them you will be intercepted by security guards. pic.twitter.com/w4DYsFAWv0

If this report is correct, Facebook essentially has a blacklist of people it considers threats, and uses its own social media products to continuously surveil them. https://t.co/IfIvSyZ0l7

Real Qs: how low of an “offense” qualifies to be on Facebook’s BOLO list? How do you know if you’re on it? How do you object if you think it’s a mistake? https://t.co/FzS6fR0Ve9

Facebook tracks former employees deemed a threat by using location data collected thru Facebook's apps/websites. "Other companies keep similar lists of threats, but Facebook is unique because it can use its own products to...track the location of people" https://t.co/6SM8LPpS2u

Am I on Facebook's watchlist?

If I am being watched I wouldn't feel so lonely on Valentine's Day. Very wholesome ☺️https://t.co/aoJM7hJYKR

Nothing to see here—just Facebook mining people’s data, tracking them, and creating a watch list of folks they think are a threat to the company. ?https://t.co/YVnnY6G0jJ

Just when you think Facebook couldn’t be more sleezy...

Facebook security keeps a 'lookout' list of threatening people and tracks them. https://t.co/VBpGK2XYLd
