Do we even have the names of companies that have done it or is it just one or two and the rest is just urban whispers making it sound like everyone does it?

I have, and will continue, to check people out on social networks using publicly available info but I wouldn't ask for account access any more than I would ask if I could go around to their house and read their mail. I will repeat though, information that they have placed in the public domain is fair game.
