Is Facebook watching your every move?

Since its launch in 2004, Facebook officials for the first time are showing concern about it's decreasing popularity. What started as a phenom is now starting to turn drab and insipid. 
                                           
According to a recent study conducted by anthropologist Daniel Miller teens are sick of using Facebook and in some cases even embarrassed to be associated with this social networking website. 

But the problem for the Facebook team are about to get worst. Matthew Campbell and Michael Hurley have accused Facebook of scanning private messages with URL in them "for purpose including but not limited to data mining and user profiling". Meanwhile the Facebook authorities said that the allegations are baseless and the company would defend itself vigorously.
