This has nothing to do with new infrastructure. It simply creates an “anonymity free zone” where you have to prove your identity before doing anything. Individual hosts (e.g. your bank) attempt to do this today, but with widely varying levels of success.

Former CIA Director: Build a new Internet to improve cybersecurity

... Unlike .com, .xxx and other new domains now proliferating the Internet, .secure would require visitors to use certified credentials for entry and would do away with users' Fourth Amendment rights to privacy. Network operators in the financial sector, for example, would be authorized to scan account holders' traffic content for signs of trouble.

… "This doesn't have to be complicated or even mandatory," he said on the Senate floor in November 2010. "The most important value of a dot-secure domain is that, like dot-gov and dot-mil, now we can satisfy consent under the Fourth Amendment search requirements for the government's defenses to do their work within that domain, their work of screening for attack signals, botnets and viruses."

I don't think this means Facebook actively participated, rather someone noticed the protest being organized (and wouldn't any country want to monitor Facebook after “Arab Spring”) and found an easily accessible list of “trouble makers.”

Facebook Helps Israel Blacklist Air Travellers

"According to a report by the Associated Press, protesters have been stopped in their tracks after Facebook aided Israel in cracking down on the group of activists from the UK, France, and Belgium who planned their event using the popular social networking site. Facebook allowed government agents to track the activists activities and then create a black-list of people who participated in the planning of the protests. The black-listed group was then forwarded to airlines with instructions to prevent the activists from boarding air flights to Israel. Over 200 activists were prevented from flying after being added to the airlines terrorism watch list, [Not really terrorists – are they now banned from flying anywhere?

Feast Your Eyes On Recipe Curation Site Gojee

There’s no shortage of food recipe sites on the web for virtually any kind of food. In fact, trying to find a recipe online can be overwhelming with all of the options available. Enter recently launched foodie favorite Gojee, which curates recipes from food bloggers around the web in a visually beautiful way.

On Gojee, you can search for recipes by ingredient, either via ‘cravings’ or by one ingredient you have in your pantry. You can also input your dislikes or allergies and Gojee will make sure to surface recipes without these ingredients.

Unfortunately, the feature is only integrated with New York grocery store chain D’Agostino but the startup hopes to add more stores in the near future.

Other than being able to say “I came at your request...” what disadvantage is there to waiting for the subpoena? You know they are out to get you either way... (The comments are interesting.)

Google Chairman To Testify At Antitrust Hearing

"Following a threat of subpoena, Google chairman Eric Schmidt will be testifying at a Senate antitrust subcommittee in September. Google has denied acting anticompetitively and cites its success as the cause of the increased scrutiny. The Federal Trade Commission and European Commission have both launched antitrust investigations into the company, and the Justice Department is also conducting a criminal probe into their acceptance of ads from rogue web pharmacies, an investigation Google has set aside $500 million to settle."
