Well, I don't really have anything to hide. Everything I post... what difference does it make if it's you or them that reads it? There is alot of anti-CIA sentiments out there but I don't really share their unrest - one must remember that alot of these conspiracy theories were started by the russians during the cold war for obvious purposes.

The reason why I don't use Facebook is more because I don't need it - I send mails to my friends, it's more like in old times and I can actually keep up with myself.

This is how all the holdouts will be put into Facebook whether they like it or not.

Somewhere some relative, friend or even a complete stranger has a picture up there with your face in it either knowingly or unknowingly and it'll be tagged and then you're in against your will.

Conspiracy theorists using facebook worrying about their privacy are like Hitler worshipping and having sex with the Jewish people while still claiming to hate them.
It makes no sense.

Get off facebook and quit giving me excuses why you NEED it.
Quit being a bunch of dumbasses.

Complete bull crap.. I only have one for networking for work, it's a must have for me.. I was already forced into the system.. This just makes it ten times worse, and I suggest anyone with pictures up take them down.

Too bad your face is already in the system...but nice try though

Part of the reason I deleted my FB, I had actually thought they were doing this for awhile now.

I told everyone I know to take down any pictures of me and to my knowledge they obliged. I no longer allow my friends or relatives to take pictures of me.

I don't give a crap that people say "if you aren't doing anything then you have no reason to worry" bs. I have right now a google plus account that I had forgotten about for a long while so I went a couple weeks ago and changed my name to "Chi Chi" and they suspended my account because it appears to not be a my real name.

Why do they need my full first and last name? They don't! If I want people to find me they can, i'll tell them how but that decision should be mine. So it's suspended but I think i'm just going to permanently delete that one too.

Facebook, G+, Myspace and any other media site like it are there only to get your info. Delete them all and make the FBI do their own work.

actually its not
i only used facebook to stay n touch with relatives who are always kind enough to ask before they put a photo up that im in if its ok
i always said no
so hopefully there are none but you can never be sure

We really need better laws in terms of privacy and identity protection. Facebook uses the facial recognition under the guise of "making it easier" for their users to tag photos. The reality is that they are developing and have developed a system in which one can be identified the moment they walk through the doors of a store. There are interested parties in this kind of technology and there are patents out there that indicate the myriad ways that it can be used. One of my "favorites" is having a computer choose whether or not you should be a customer and trying to get you to leave the store, using subliminals. It's beyond privacy. How would you like to be prejudiced against every time you go to buy food at the grocery store just because your credit score isn't high enough?

The government having all of our profile photos is less of an issue as a good chunk of Americans already have some form of state-issued photo id. Facial recognition on Facebook basically assures that they have the correct individual associated with all the activity and behavior on Facebook. It's one more confirmation that you are you and not another with the same name. That, oddly enough, I'm less concerned about. I'm worried about the development of a minority report world where economic prejudice is gotten away with because it uses subliminal disincentives (electronic harassment) and, therefore, is almost impossible to prove. We must get this all to stop and not just for any intel gathering entity. What I am saying will happen with this kind of information may sound crazy to some but, be discomfited for it's not.

relatives respect your wishes...but sometimes your friends are idiots and post it anyways.

1. You are a true loner if you have online friends.

2. You aren't a loner if you have friends offline.

3. You are popular when your friends take pictures of you.

4. Your friends are idiots if they post them online without your knowledge and even if they don't know your FB name.

5. To avoid future FB posts by your friends, refer to point #1.

why are you making it personal
this thread is about facebook not me
i can see how that comment about not needing friends online might look but thats not what i meant
most of my friends dont use facebook
and i dont interact with people i dont know online

reply to post by xszawe


In no way, shape or context am I making it a personal comment about you! You are being too sensitive. This was a general post about ANYONE connected to or not connected to FB.

reply to post by xszawe


Eh, shake it off...some seem to think that making thinly veiled ad hominems are the epitome of cleverness. Your thread, in my opinion, is about this new development in privacy issues with Facebook and there are heaps of them for sure. It's an important issue.
