(Reuters) - Internet companies such as Google, Twitter and Facebook are increasingly co-opted for surveillance work as the information they gather proves irresistible to law enforcement agencies, Web experts said this week.

The internet was a much nicer place in the 90's......I miss the old internet, and the true anonymity of it. Now it feels like everyone is trolling for your information.
