FaceBook ALERT!

[Wok]

Supermarket club cards keyed to your phone number.

Yup. Surveillance cameras all over the place, and your name (and other info you probably do not know about yourself) in probably hundreds of databases somewhere private or public. In the name of convenience and security, there is a tradeoff. Facebook is not the only game in town.

As you know.

 

[Sean]

I told FB the correct spelling of your last name.

Pfft. Nipples/Cade posts it on here at least once a week. The thing is, no-one can do me any harm online. Anyone willing to give it a try in person is welcome to attempt it.

I think maybe the best way to stay hidden is to flood them with information. Have a hundred credit cards, fifty bank accounts, a dozen cell phones...

I know, I'm the same way. No one would ever give a shit if my personal info were posted here or whatever. No one I work with or for would even raise an eyebrow at associating me with Perg. Whatever. If I had kids it might be different.

Link him. You have his email.

Knowing him, he would probably shake his head and do something else. He rarely engages in petty stuff.

Entirely possible, but he likes you and wouldn't mind that you thought of him.

I see none of you bothered to read the link posted.

Too bad. It pretty much sums up what the risks are.

HEY! but don't let me stop you from ranting and raving about how everything is alright because everybody else does it ... totally ignoring the differences.

And to Bronzeage ... no, I don't think government should be thrusting themselves into private enterprises such as FaceBook. Nor, was that anything that I implied.

Instead I suggested the following solution ... clear cookies often after FB use and/or use a separate browser when you go there.

See? That's the difference between a Conservative and a Liberal ... it's called personal responsibility.

I love this shit.

• Reduce your energy use in every way possible.
• Recycle grey water.
• Reduce use of plastics by recycling/reusing.
• Eat only locally grown foods.
• Eat only organically grown meats, if you eat meat at all.
• Buy only from responsible companies, even if it costs you a little more.
• Volunteer at a homeless shelter or at a cleanup project.
• Oppose the polluting of the planet for short-term economic gains.
• Drive a high-mileage vehicle and use it as little as possible.
• Refuse to support companies that do not practice socially responsible business models.
• Learn foreign languages and travel to countries that are seen as antipathetic to the US.
• Refuse to eat ocean products that are over-fished such as bluefin tuna.
• Vocally and financially oppose such practices as whaling and mountain top removal mining instead of taking another trip to Disneyworld.
• Refuse to buy wood products that are made of wood harvested in unsustainable ways or from threatened old growth forests.
• Pick up other people's litter.
• Spend the extra few cents a gallon to run your car on biodiesel.
• Use reusable shopping bags.
• Don't bitch about paying a few bucks extra in taxes to assist the less fortunate.

^^^^How so-called "liberals" practice personal responsibility.

Not really, they want the government to force you to do those things.

Exactly.

Much like their energy solution that never had a vote in Congress.

Hands up all those that think MeeMie has been surfing kiddie porn and is now shitting himself?

I never said it was alright. Risks are everywhere from your smartphone to driving down the highway. Everybody should be made aware of those risks.

I thought so, too ... which was the reason for this thread.

The link posted earlier is very informative. I hope others might take a look at it.

Excerpt:
"The moronic rush to post details of their lives online at websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter and the like has potential consequences which the dolts haven't quite figured out ( not the least of which are increasing the possibility of identity theft, online fraud and theft, stalking, giving all kinds of personal information to the marketeers and, most obviously, the loss of privacy)."

Gmail - Hotmail... they all do it one way or another. Type an email and use words like Hawaii, vacation, renting a car or whatever and then watch the ads on your sidebar change to those related subjects after you send it. How did they know to suddenly put up related advertising?

At work we remove malware/spyware/viruses all the time. It amazes me what people are willing to pay instead of educating themselves and my computer tech guy doesn't share much info on what he's doing to simply fix these 'slow' computers that have plenty of memory.

The above post from this very thread is more informative than your link.

And what about cracker's ACLU link? Did YOU bother to read that?

How would you know? Did you bother to read it?

I doubt it because you were the second post in the thread linked ... declaring it dumb.

 

[bronzeage]

He doesn't know what he wants. That's why he's resorted to name calling and attacks. Ya know, exactly the things he berates other posters for doing.

Credibility isn't high on his priority list.

The funniest thing is he thinks clearing his cookies will solve the problem.

 

[Cade Is Here]

Hands up all those that think MeeMie has been surfing kiddie porn and is now shitting himself?

Well you admitted to being a pedo,a drug aduct,a drunk,a woman beater,a racist,you admitted to hacking into peoples accounts and you are a selff proclaimed alt maker.. so sean.. now who will believe you on anything anymore because everyone knows that you are a liar as well.

 

[MeeMie]

Let me help you with your reading comprehension problem...


First post in this thread regarding the thread issue of FaceBook's continuous tracking user history with cookies even after the user has left their site:

Did you know that FaceBook has been invading your privacy by monitoring all of your browsing activity by tracking user data through cookies even after you logged out?

‘The only solution is to delete every Facebook cookie in your browser, or to use a separate (web) browser for Facebook interactions.'

And, btw, that was not *MY* own thought per se, but was recommended as the solution to correct the particular FaceBook problem noted in the opening post.

I went the 'use a different browser' route.




Let's compare that recommended solution to what the ACLU (famous for outlawing Christmas decorations from town parks) had to say...

"Today, private companies are tracking as many of our movements as they can online, selling that information to other companies who in turn share it with law enforcement and the government."

"But what happens when the government asks these companies to hand over their users' private information?"

"Companies should....."

"the government must help draw boundaries..."
(been to Attack Watch lately?)

"The ACLU believes it's time to pass new privacy laws." ...
(you know the government requests they are trying to protect you from... they think government should legislate against themselves)

"The government should have to go to a judge and get a warrant that says it has probable cause to believe you’ve committed a crime before it can read your email, browse through your social networking account, or track your location."
(the terrorists wanting to destroy us will be delighted)

"You should ...." TAKE ACTION! and support the ACLU call for more government involvement regulating the Internet




or, you could take some personal responsibility, as noted previously.

Disingenuous answer, Meemie.

You said liberals don't care. Obviously liberals aware of the issue do care and have cared for a long time.

Were you honest, you would have simply said you disagree with their proposed solutions.

I am mulling on your solution. It's an interesting one. Every computer user should stay one step ahead of Facebook. Good luck getting my mother up to speed on that. She still thinks modems should squawk.

All my cars are green, I use LL Bean shopping bags. You are green when you can borrow a car.

I was talking about those who posted in this particular thread as "not caring" about the thread subject matter or FaceBook tracking history of users after logging off their site ... which is certainly exemplified by their posts in this same thread.

To quote a few:

facebook will come to your house at night and let the air out of your tires.

So facebook knows you scour the interwebs all day and night for right wing propaganda and Obama hate speech. Big fucking deal.

With that avatar and this thread, I keep picturing Chicken Little now.

Umm, how am I at risk, retard? Apart from drowning in spam, obviously.

I really don't care if they know I was looking for Shanna McCullough threesome cum swapping videos.

Maybe you should email the information listed in the link mentioned above to your mother ... so, she too will be made aware of the risks involved with social networking sites like FaceBook.

A lot of old people have misconceptions about the Internet. After I set my father up with email, it was funny to see how he thought it was like a telephone call ... he'd send an email and sit and look at the screen waiting ... waiting ... waiting for an immediate response.

All it took was a little explanation about the reality of the situation.

I'm sure your mother will grasp an explanation given and solution offered, too.
