Super interesting.

Tom Scott did something extraordinary last week: he typed in searches on Facebook’s new Graph Search feature and posted images of the results on his tumblr, called ActualFacebookGraphSearches.

… which sounds quite un-extraordinary. Except that Scott – something of an intellectual joker – searched phrases like “current employers of people who like racism,” and “Islamic men interested in men who live in Tehran, Iran,” and “married people who like prostitutes.”

The search results spit out a compilation of every person falling into the category of the search query – their names, faces, job locations, friends, family, relationship status, interests, educational background, and anything else listed on their Facebook pages.
