How did it work out? I tried the same too, but it was falling into deaf years. Most common response. "Sean beta (means son in hindi). You are being excessively paranoid. Facebook is a closed community, and I only share info with friends and family, so don't worry."

I've had mostly the same responses. My family has said I'm being overly paranoid. My liberal friends don't think anyone cares what they think. And my conservative friends are afraid of the NSA and the government, but fully support this kind of spying and data collection by private companies as long as their team wins.
Nit: "falling on deaf ears"

I will concede to typo/autocorrect, but wanted to make the comment in case someone reads your comment and assumes the phrase correct.

haha. Yes it was a typo/autocorrect. lol. thanks.
That answer depresses the shit out of me.
