Facebook Will Tell You If The Government Is Spying On YOU by Entertain9jar(f): 5:51pm On Oct 20, 2015
FACEBOOK will now send you a notification if it suspects you have been targeted by a nation-state.

Facebook has launched a new type of notification which warns social network users if there account has been targeted by hackers working for a nation-state.
The new notification, which was announced earlier this week, is not an indication that Facebook itself has been hacked.
Instead it is triggered by malware on the users' computer or smartphone that is being used to try and access your Facebook account.

Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos announced the news on the hugely successful social network's blog.
"While we have always taken steps to secure accounts that we believe to have been compromised, we decided to show this additional warning if we have a strong suspicion that an attack could be government-sponsored," he wrote.
"We do this because these types of attacks tend to be more advanced and dangerous than others, and we strongly encourage affected people to take the actions necessary to secure all of their online accounts."
