The thread for those who don't give a fuck.

My opinion of the nosy little bastard was sealed when Facebook was brand new and I went to register and was required to give my phone number. Fuck you. I don't want to talk to you, and I sure as hell don't want to talk to the 10,000 fuckwads you would sell that number to. I don't need your "service." I have people's email addresses.

So why anyone would be surprised at this latest revelation of privacy invasion is beyond me.

Data mining is pretty much the business model for them.

Those that don't give a fuck about what? It's a very long list and requires considerable effort that's not worthy.

This is why from the beginning with MySpace I chose not to be a participant in social media. Anyone who feels violated now never understood the PT Barnum rule.

And (not unlike government) it has always been couched with wording that was all about the benefit they were offering you by offering you ads tailored to your shopping habits.

On that basis alone, I agree. It's the most simplest of basics so many millions/billions ignore. Our Liberal crusaders, (modern Liberals - not the true Liberals), bitch about invasion of rights to privacy while simultaneously demanding it be protected.

FB is or can be a valuable tool for whatever reasons. It's simply a wonderful tool. As is the internet itself. Nothing more or less.

Well, maybe it's time to start giving a fuck.

You can bet that congress is "going to do something." And generally when congress sticks their nose in situations like this they fuck things up. Whatever is done is going to effect far more than FB.

The Republicans will have their goals, the Democrats their own and the legislation will become a political football for time to come. And the sad part is that they really don't give much of a shit about your personal data. The CIA, DIA, FBI, DHS, and a host of other alphabet agencies have been using the social network platforms for their own purposes and really don't want anything to change regarding THEIR ability to harvest your data.

Congress, “do something” ?

Oh BellowSaurus, you be so funny!

Would you be comfortable telling us which hotel you stayed in last night?

You're onto something now. The people have spoken. Thank You.

Incurious , (look up the word "incurious" before proceeding to read), people can call this whatever they want. It's not technophobia (spell checker erroneously tells me my spelling of the word is wrong) or closed minded. A technophobic refused to embrace or accept technology. Persons such as myself see FB and similar sites for what it really is or has become.

Feel free to break out your tracker cookies or whatever BS you use to track people on this post. I welcome such hypocrisy that will be your undoing. I'm not on the internet for such nonsense.

My thoughts on Mark Zuckerberg (spell checker tells me his name is spelled wrong too, but tell that to him and see if he cares.) alone? I firmly believe Mr. Zuckergerg did not intend for FB to be whatever it has become.

He co-founded FB on the basis and belief that there had to be a better, efficient means available for people to communicate on the social level. The internet was already there and he sought to contribute and improvise the vehicle that was already there. It was NOT his original intent for FB to get out of hand and be used as a weapon for governments nor a tool for capitalistic gain.

Now Zuckenberg is stepping up to take responsibility for his contributions to FB. It's sad all the other dumbfucks that have abused FB for monetary and sadistic means haven't stepped up behind him and admitted or confessed to their role in all this.

We've all been royally fucked and refuse to see it. We have eyes, yet we do not see.

You want links? YOU CAN'T HAVE LINKS!

Except that the new crop of law enforcement couldn't solve a case without social media to save their lives. They were born and bred on that garbage and without the ability to link someone to their social media account, they're absolutely clueless.

That's why the fake-news "deep state" is of no consequence, because if anything like that exists (it doesn't) it would still be run by fallible fucktards who don't have a clue about the real world, just like Facebook, and just like every other agency in the world. The "fog of war" in all of these situations are just people who think they're important, but aren't. Their own ego clouds their vision.

A while back, Zuckerberg spent what seemed like months on a mysterious tour of "real America," which scared the hell out of people once they realized that by 2020, he'd be old enough to run for president.

I'm less concerned about that now.

He makes John Kerry look like a human.

Watch FB end up like Myspace and Friendster.

Sheryl Sandberg: I'm really, really sorry for accommodating all you boneheaded dimwits in your moronic desire to put all your personal information in public. Gosh, we were way too idealistic.

Mark Zuckerberg: I'm really, really, really sorry for giving you dopes the chance to be stupid.

[ThatsTheGuy]

He was being asked so many stupid fucking questions. Why didn't they feed him the questions before hand like so many others members of Congress?

He doesn't have to answer to Congress like they're his overlords. CONGRESS is supposed to answer to us. They forgot that long ago. FUCK THOSE ASSHOLE BITCHES!

So, he walked after he had his say. And rightfully so.

 

[ThatsTheGuy]

Not really a surprise. He did not forget why he helped launch FB nor his role in doing so.

What truly surprises me is that NO ONE stood with him. NO ONE has come forward to admit any wrongs. Spineless bastards.

^^^^Like I said. NO ONE!^^^^

Sorry I fucked your thread BobFetaCheese. I got a little excited when I was following this Zuckerberg thing. Still pissed at those assholes in Congress. All of them. Every.....single...fucking.....one. I'll get over it........someday.

 

[ThatsTheGuy]

Odd shit's happening around here. One of them being that though there's so few people on the board when I came back to this thread AND when I posted in it a few hours ago, someone tried burying it quick.

LOL! Whoever's trying to bury shit is not gonna change what's going on w/FB or the internet. They only make themselves more suspect.

Zuckerberg knows more than he lets on. "um let me talk to the team and I'll get back to you" he knows the truth! He reminded me some of a younger Jeff Sessions "I don't recall". Hell he helped get that moron in the Oval elected. Zuckerberg sold out the country as did Trump.

Before? Yes. Now? Not so sure. He's covering somone's ass, but they're willing to hang him out to dry.

Have you kept track of the thread?

I listened to it live and then watched a recording of his appearance before Congress. Congress had scripted questions to ask Zuckenberg, he did not. He didn't have to be there.

Of course he has to go back and talk to someone. You think he's an idiot? It's got nothing to do with selling out the country as Congress wants you to believe. Nothing to do with Trump.
