I've just used my face book (which is under a fake name, but real email) to spread negative anti civilization messages.
I just applied for a job with the city, and i want to make sure they don't run my email into facebook and come up with things like "fuck society" and "destroy civilization"...
I don't use facebook anymore, i don't like it, and i don't want it.
Can i completely remove myself from it?

Usually the account needs to be associated with a name, don't make your e-mail public to anyone on the profile. At least for civillian jobs. Depending on clearance the government jobs will, can, and do look. They aren't complete dip-shits and they do have the information at their fingertips if they need it. They just do what is socially acceptable for them to do. The NSA and DEA, and CIA, etc etc only share certain information unless there is a specific request... that is to keep their capabilities confidential. Deactivate the account and get rid of it. It makes good policy. Distance yourself from it.
Also never text anything of importance. They are there always and can always be searched easily and don't require someone to go back to the digitized media and listen to it.
Every conversation you have online or by mobile phone / device is stored and recorded. Weather any action is taken on it or if it is ever listened to or ever can be listened to due to clearances and cost restraints... you never know. There aren't billion dollar data centers for no reason.
The only 3 types of secure transmissions of information are...
encrypted broadcast.... Where you put some encrypted information in an innocuous spot on the internet where thousands of people see it but can't unencrypt it without a key... one that you personally developed....
whispering in someones ear.... ( pretty simple )
whatever is between you and god.... ( the prayers you don't say out loud )
That is about it.... kinda sucks. And the only think you can actually trust when you do communicate securely is god.
The best thing to do is to change policy!!! That is why weed is becoming legal. With all the surveillance people are pissed off that there is no way they can smoke weed without getting caught. So everyone wants to legalize it! Since everyone smokes pot. So there you go. Technological government snoopery, and crazy laws are pissing people off worldwide and making pot legal and causing everyone to question government waste.

A lot of jobs will take a look at your Facebook profile before the interview. It tells you a lot about the person.
As for the OP, as long as we're not talking about NSA/CIA/FBI, just make all your profile information private (especially e-mail but also your Wall). Un-fan any scandalous pages. etc. etc.

I am just wondering if they would be able to do a search on my email addy, because like i said - my facebook is under a completely ridiculous fake name, and no pictures are on it.

didnt read it all.. but most recruiters postions will not go that far... most employers for the private sector will just see if you have a picture on facebook.. not go much further unless your privacy settings are fucked.
