The inverse of paranoia about the governing power or establishment collecting information about an individual. (See Big Brother) Those afflicted by little brother syndrome intentionally share and broadcast information about themselves via social networks, check-in websites, and GPS devices, often with little regard to personal privacy, or long-term consequences.

You know I'd like to go to the club, but my super Annoying Little Brother has some kind of Syndrome or something. I can't get over how whinny he is, and he's such a little snitch, he'll just tell my mom or dad. Stupid Annoying Little Brother Syndrome (A.L.B.S)
