Facebook Notifies Users of Potential Nation-State Attacks (facebook.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Facebook has announced its plans to notify users if they are under threat from state-sponsored cyberattacks. The social media giant proposes a notification system triggered when its algorithms suspect nation-state activity. The alert will pop up on the user's Facebook page, warning them of the danger and advising them to switch on login approvals, which require the individual to enter a security code sent to them from Facebook.

    I was gonna suggest that you should just change your password to "governments_and_law_enforcement_are_not_permitted_to_snoop_on_this_account". Turns out that it works like a charm, since it's well known that cops and government agents have to tell you they're a cop if you ask, "You a cop?" and that they aren't allowed to access data that you post publicly if it says it's off-limits to them.
