These are all important points. Thanks, everyone, for your perspectives on this. What would concern me most is that it could potentially be a policy that SS monitors people on disability via social media. It could get more and more like "Big Brother's watching you" like in George Orwell's book "1984".

We all know many prospective employers look at candidates' Facebook, etc. I know in my husband's job they do as part of investigations, without any need for a warrant. Facebook is freely accessible information, as is info on other social media platforms. Isn't it? Though I know you can limit viewership. Limiting view is an option in some cases, but must be set up deliberately.

I happen to have a very unique name. I may well be the only person in the world with my exact name. This has led me to be quite cognizant that I'm easy to research. I know that details I don't want to share about my life are available, including where I've lived, family names, my last employer, and much more.
