Facebook deletee and loving it!

I don't want pictures of people I know identifiable on the internet.

I don't want my information available to all and sundry.

I don't want just anybody to know who all my family members are.

I don't want my party photos available to be copied and photoshopped, at will.

I don't want any personal information on the internet.

If Facebook folks are cool with all that... they totally deserve what they get.

Unthink sure looks good to me!

Freedom of choice.

Haha wow. What makes you think you're that important that people want YOUR information and want to photoshop YOUR photos? No one cares and the ones that do just like to troll.

And anyway you could always use the 'make info seen only by me' option.

You think 'make my info private' option means your info is private???

Here's the conversation:

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Here is a more in-depth article on the issue of Facebook using personal info.

Apparently Facebook thinks their user's information is very important indeed.

Private Info on Facebook used in Court

Are you people this (censored) ...for real..

I mean...you don't like Facebook..then stay away from it....let those that do..enjoy it...or are you trying to dictate how others live.

Is that not hypocritical...I mean a lot of posters on here claim they do not want the government in their lives telling them what to do and such.

Those that cheer anon should be slapped...they are trying to dictate to the world through computer vandalism.

They and a few had a problem with Play Station , so they take it down....they and a few had a problem with pay pal...so they attacked it....so basically when a few of you who are angry at something...you attack it...and forget what everyone else thinks..it's your way or the highway..kind of like what your fighting against when it comes to the government.....

Anon...gave a list of pedo's ...probably the only good thing they have done.

I know some twit is going to come on and say well anon took the pedo's right to view child porn....please don't be that stupid...child porn is the viewing of torturing and raping of children not the same thing as someone playing a video game playstation.

Ooops strayed off topic..

So who gets to decide what you want to do...you or someone else. Do you want to be able to enjoy life the way you want..or do you want to live life the way someone else thinks you should live.

It is a simple answer for those smart enough to realize it....YOU DON'T LIKE IT.....STAY AWAY FROM IT.

Facebook folks, do what you will. I'm not one to tell anyone what to do.

OP posted an anti-Facebook thread. I liked that. I replied.

You do realize Facebook uses their browser cookies to track where you go online, even after you leave their site? Meaning they know every. Single. Porn website you have looked at recently.

Ahh, yes and no. Even if you are logged out certain facebook partner sites (sites with a Like! button) might be sending cookie data back to the facebook tracking cookie. It is NOT every site on the internet and you CAN easily disable this, not through facebook of course.

Seriously people, facebook is a website, nothing more nothing less, it's not changing the internet, it's not coming after you, you can easily avoid the site.

I really don't get the "hate".

Yes, they constantly change privacy settings without telling you, yes, they constantly open your data up to advertisers, yes, yes yes....

Outside of shadow profiles, they can only share what you allow them to. And with shadow profiles, well, that's your own damn fault too because you are the one leaving all that information floating around the internet.

I never used FB as a social network.
I only joined long time ago to be able to play Farmville with my son; none of my personal details are true, not even the name or the pics. I always get offers for vasectomies which amuses me to no end (I'm a woman). My kids are keeping in touch with their friends through FB; that's all that is to it.
If I need to contact my few friends across the world, I do it with the fake account, then just tell them "hi, it's me, let's talk on Skype." For my closest friends I use the old ways of phone calling and face to face meeting.
Last time I logged into FB was two months ago.

Never understood how people spread their personal info on sites like that, than cry out for their lost privacy.

Ever since I started using the internet, I've learned to never, ever give my real personal data to no one. I have different identities with different emails for different purposes. If I buy something online, it's only with chargeable credit cards, not the ones connected to my bank account. I change my internet providers often, just for the fun of trying new-comers discounts. Right now I'm using a chargeable net stick; no personal data at all. I'm nobody. Simple prevention measures. And still, some of my emails are full of spam.

Always remember this and you'll be much safer: THERE IS NO PRIVACY ON INTERNET. Period. Everyone track you on the net, Yahoo, Google, Amazon, FB, all the big guys out there. YOU are their business.
Staying anonymous is the best prevention.

An attempt at professionalism would be appreciaited. Or just proper spelling whichever you prefer

Finally! Sombody who agrees with me!!

If you put all that crap out there in the first place, dont whine because people can see it!

I see nothing wrong with using Facebook as a tool. I NEVER post status updates, or comment on anyone's profiles. I only use it to add and track my friends, family, and coworkers. I also use it to post the occasional holiday photo. I will also use the messaging system to contact individuals in lieu of email. And that is the maximum extent.

If you use Facebook in moderation and only for a basic means of simple communication and photo sharing then it isn't so bad.

So are you saying people should only try to change things in those ways? Are you saying that speaking up is pointless? If so, how will others come to find out how bad Facebook is?

No. Speak up all you want, encourage everybody you can, but, unless people start dropping their Facebook accounts, you are likely to get little done.

I wish people would stop saying things like this.

"If you don't like Hitler, just don't go to Germany!"
"If you don't like rabies, just don't go near dogs with rabies!"
"If you don't like arsenic in your food, don't eat food with arsenic in it!"

I don't think ANYONE likes these things.
If they do, then tell them to "just stop".

I extremely dislike Facebook, but unfortunately that's where most of my friends are. It's also my best way to keep in contact with women since in this part of the world, people would rather talk through electronics than in person.

You .. unless you are basshunter .. are not going to find women on the internet.

You need either be a talentless retard who can make beep beep music, OR actually have a life.

Sorry, thats just the way it goes... Internet relationships... god I'd rather shag a dalek..

Not because I like people to read my witty status's, look at pictures of my friends or finding out someone's birthday..
Yet because it simply allows me to see which local bands are playing where, where/when open mics are on and other musical events.

I SUPPOSE I could walk down the strip on every billboard and telephone pole for posters but....

I was gonna say the same thing.

I get more amusement/entertainment from "liking" pages of bands/celebrities than looking at my actual friends.

There is no harm in Facebook. If you don't want your information sold then don't post it anywhere on the web. Literally, don't post it anywhere if you don't want it sold.

Hi,

My name is Bob Bobinson.

I like goldfish and talking about UFO's.

I have a pet dog named fluffy and a cat named scruffy. Scruffo died, so I stole my ex's cat and named it scruffy. I am not a bad person though, she was. so I win.

I am not spiteful.

I like green, and the colour red.

I also like Spongebob squarepants, and my moms name is melody.

My daddy left when I was 5.

I hate my daddy.

Btw I now HATE ATS for knowing everything about me... Booo ATS you are a conspiracy!!! you stole all my details..

and then............

I dont care for facebook. I have NEVER had an account at facebook, and probably never will. If people want to contact me, my # is in the phonebook and most have my email address

Facebook is the worst relationship killer there is. Nothing but problems with that site when it comes to relationships, especially if both of you are there. No thank you !


I actived my account yesterday for one quick minute and by the time I got home from work.. I had to rush to the computer to deactivate it again. I felt so damn violated ~

People are desperate to become robots. When they can implant FB direct into the brain, people will line up for miles and beg for it. That sounds crazy now. About as crazy as giving up personal privacy would have sounded 15 years ago before everyone lost their freaking minds and stopped caring.

When people realize how much this is destroying socitey it will be far too late. I had a hard enough time understanding humanity... FB culture has about made me want to give up entirely.

I don't claim to know exactly what "normal" is... but I sure as hell don't think its being updated every second on every detail of the lives of everyone you've ever met.

there seems to be a certain amount of narcissism on both sides of the argument. On one side of it you have those who cant wait to show everyone their lolcats, vacation pics and location on 4square while on the other side you have those who seem to think that they are important enough for hidden entities to keep close tabs on. Facebook is a gun, only dangerous to those in its sites and those who use it irresponsibly. I use it for passing on info and finding free thinking, like minded folks. Free thinkers on facebook?? Really?? Yes. I have even gotten to know some cool cats from ATS through adding them on said site. Letting fear stop you from doing things you enjoy...if you do indeed enjoy social networking.....if you don't , noting wrong with that either....is relinquishing too much personal power. Yeah, big bro is watching...so stare right back at him. If you are truly doing something subversive or want to keep your fight club activities secret...don't talk about it online. Hell, Ive seen more incriminating posts right here on ATS. Crawling this site you can find out who has guns, stocked supplies, what branch of the military people are in, what city they are from, their political views and affiliations...I could go on but you get the idea.
