There's an old Irish phrase to describe the level of discourse on sites such as Twitter and Facebook:
Gobshite.
Here's a definition:

Once you combine gobshiteing with the fact that use of such "social networking sites" provides malign agencies with the opportunity to create entirely bogus "risk profiles" of users, which ultimately TBTB will exploit to deny individuals employment and travel rights, and on occasion even their liberty, I see absolutely no reason why a rational, sentient, being would use such software.
