Facebook privacy

[wfooshee]

Ding ding ding!!!! We have a winner!

If you don't want it out there, don't post it. I've got GOBS of stuff on FB, almost all of it public, but there's nothing I would say, "Gee, I hope such-and-such nevers hears that!!!" My boss can go through it, the cops can go through it, me ex-wife can go through it. There's nothing there I didn't want there.

I use it to keep up with family scattered across the country. I use it to keep up with the kid in Afghanistan, and his future bride in Hawaii. (Except she's in Korea at the moment - which I learned where???)

Every social site in the Universe was put there for data mining. Don't act surprised that they're doing that. You think those stupid ads on the side actually pay for the site to run?

You guys are hilarious!! Evidently you can tell since I'm not riding anymore I have a lot of time on my hands...

What's Facebook?

 

[Fly Bye]

Man, you guys are stuck in the past!! both My Space and Facebook are sooooo 2010! You need to sign up for the next generation social networks, either MyFace, or SpaceBook!

:assassin:

Or you could wait for the latest, greatest social networking system coming up this fall.....

It's called "Actually Picking Up A Phone and Talking To Someone"

Bingo, Radio Howie wins the prize.

There is no way I would join Face Book, I like my privacy.

Talking to someone sure as hell beats broadcasting on FB any day. :chatty:

Of course those of us (including me) posting here and railing against social networking are being somewhat hypocritical.

After all, this Forum is a form of social network, albeit a much smaller, more intimate, one.

With the advent of Carnivore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_%28software%29), anything other than FtF conversations are no longer private. It's since been replaced with even more capable systems. In concert with warrant-less wiretaps and roaming taps[1], no one is secure in their person or effects.

[1] If they are tapping person 1 and person 1 visits person 2, then they also tap person 2 (and person 3 via person 2, etc.) even without any additional legal schmegal.

That's it.

I'm quitting the Forum.

Umm...you guys DO know that i was being facetious..there is no such thing as My Face or Space Book. :glare:

As for FaceBook..never had it, never will. It's a good way to get fired, arrested, or stalked.

As for FaceBook..never had it, never will. It's a good way to get fired (no more work), arrested (free room and board), or stalked (groupies!!).

So... what's the downside? :blink:

So what you're telling us Fred, is that your ideal environment is one where are are surrounded in close quarters by members of the same sex, locked in your room at night, and enjoy close fellowship with those around you.

Definitely good to know!

 

[wfooshee]

Still waiting for the stalking...... :angry2:

Oh yeah... there is that.

Nevermind.

Unlike this social media site, which never discloses what happened at events... FB is bad? :huh:
