You know we here at the CIA listen to Slashdot too. We have your IP, your email list, your banking details...
Honestly who cares. What will the CIA learn from ordinary people that they don't already know?
A far great concern is Facebook's ruthless approach to deleting accounts if you become involved in political comment. I'm on my 4th FB profile thanks to these deletes, the last one they claimed was blocked because I wasn't me even though they had my credit card details and student email. This was what they required to 'consider' restoring the account, no guarantee...
Hi,
Thanks for providing this information. At this time, we cannot verify the ownership of the account. Please reply to this email with a digital image of a government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport). If possible, save the file in JPEG format. Make sure the following information is clear:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Photo
You may black out any personal information that is not needed to verify your identity (e.g., social security number). Rest assured that we will permanently delete your ID from our servers once we have used it to verify the authenticity of your account. Note that we will not be able to process your request unless you send in proper identification. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Thanks,
Liam

Why the fuck would Facebook need from me 'Government Issued Photo ID'. It is the sussest request I have ever seen.
