There's been talk of AM wildly inflating membership details, especially of women. Some reports say up to 95% are men, and a huge number of female profiles are fake.
Prediction 1: we will see a web-based search so non-techie types can easily search the info.
Prediction 2: at least 1 or 2 married/attached people will be exposed of some (perceived) importance .. movie star, politician etc.
Prediction 3: Media will focus on some tiny aspect of it, or speculation about what people "think" within a week it will start to die down, it will blow over, no-one will change behaviour or bother to do anything about our dwindling privacy. Social Media will continue to scrape every minor detail of our lives, getting ever invasive until it gets to the point where because we didn't post anything at 2:05 - 2:10, it knows when we take a dump and starts to bombard us with toilet paper ads!
well this was as hard to predict as if it is going to be cold in Antartica tomorrow.. but anyway...
Prediction 1...Tick!

We should not play along. We should get off the ride. We should not search this database for our loved ones. We should take our kids to the water park. We should close our computers and walk out into the sunshine of late summer and feel the heat of our glorious life-sustaining superstar on our cheeks.
Author maybe stressing for some reason?

Prediction 2...Tick!
