If you thought
the government was overstepping its bounds to fly drones over the country, you
are not going to like the latest news from the IRS. According to an article
from a fox affiliate in Washington, DC, every time the IRS has a red flag on someone
they will begin browsing through your twitter feed and Facebook account.
So, what exactly
will they be looking at? Will they be looking to see how many restaurants you
checked into over the last year? Will they be looking at the pictures you
posted from your family’s vacation? Whatever
they are looking for I believe this is an overreach by a government that is
moving closer to a police state than ever before. One could argue that posting on Facebook and
Twitter is public information. I disagree. Facebook provides its users multiple
ways to protect the privacy of the information they post on there. If you do
not want the IRS seeing how much money you are spending do not post it on
Facebook or Twitter.
