i closed my facebook acount (it was hard, but worth it) and now my life are really CALMER and more enjoying, without thinking all the time *which photo should i take to my profile- what would my friends say about it - what has changed when i wasn't acount)
this is so rabbish!!!! if you have true friends they will find you without the web. and if you wanna stay in contact with people from the past- you have phone and email. facebook is really waste of time and health.
I dont have a Facebook acct for that reason. I dont feel the need to tell everyone my non-business, nor do i give a crap about anyone else's. It's just another way to potentially get yourself in a sticky predicament. As for selling your info to spammers & junk mailers, there is really no avoiding that, these days. Sure, I like to limit my exposure to that stuff, but I won't deny a product or service on that premise, alone. I'm more concerned with anything I TYPE can & will be used against me.
Lori, you should do another piece about privacy but focus on the 1000s of databases out there that have personal info on them. Facebook is just the tip of the iceberg.
I feel less private on facebook than I do on myspace. Just a weird feeling I got, That's why I closed my facebook account. I don't think every single activity I partake of should be made public to everyone on my list.
Being against privacy rights is tyrannical. This reminds me of all those bastard companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast being against net neutrality. They are all just a bunch of bastards.
I'm on Facebook. I really don't see the point of it. I contacted a few friends. They never wrote back. I'm thinking about taking my page down and putting one up of my guinea pig. People probably want to see my guinea pig more anyway.
There was a time when vast paranoia over one's personal information was tenaciously guarded against big brother. Today's generation however puts it all out there for everyone to see, discuss and use and then cry's foul when it comes back to bite them in the ass. Use common sense for God's sakes!
I deleted both my Facebook and myspace pages due to similar issues you raised on your vedios... thx. for making a video on privacy vandalism by on-line services. Love your videos. VIVA YouTube, itneva sell us out.
There where some good points made and some bad points 1) i am less concerned about hackers as i am about personnel in the company, and the company that i give the information to. 2) many of them are right, it is my choice what is out there (to an extent, there is a lot of information that is out there that i do not have direct control over). 3) If i put the information out there i understand that anyone, including people i dont want to see it, are able to see it.
No-one believed me when I said farsebook was evil. Now Zuckerburg has all your information and I don't give a shit - because you were too stupid to listen.
What does he know about me? Well, I'm an Orcan, I'm 108 light years old, fluent in Klingon, a practicing Jedai, a rampant Dolphinist and I live in a house. One of these statements is true.
@G58 well a light year is not a measurement of time, but rather distance. what is an orcan? you need a life if u practice jedai and are fluent in klingon that's all i have to say about that. i also dont know what the heck a dolphinist is, but im willing to bet you do live in a house...
All this upset about privacy is losing me Facebook friends. That Battleship game I had going with Kim Jong-il will go unfinished now. *sigh* Friend me!
The internet has always been controlled by the gov. You create a username and pwd to protect you from other users but you'll always have the same IP address. There's no way around it, unless of course you're a computer wiz, which most of us are not. Heck, most of us can't even make a simple myspace layout, WITH a layout designer! Bottom line, if privacy is of major concern, then he or she shouldn't create a personal profile on any social networking site.
I set my photo viewing album to be just viewed by only me, so the ownership is on you and I. You want to let others to see and improve your chances in online dating or information getting stolen that's ours to choose. Hey, facebook is in line with the 1st ammendment hence it's fine I supose..
Seems to me people are just being stupid (lacking common sense & personal responsibility) and those with control (Big Corps) are using that avenue to gain people's info freely and exploit it; In the networking web site cases I see the privacy issue as being promulgated by the mainstream media to aid the Gov (Obama Czars) with an excuse to ram through plans to control the internet under the need for the Gov to "protect us all". Without personal responsibility their is no freedom.
Hello,Lori. At the end, you actually said the most important thing. It all depends on the information we put online at these sites. I have a set block of information I use when utilizing a site.
I prefer sites which require you to Opt In to allow access to information.
They already know everything there is 2 know about us and whether u put it online urself or not doesn't really matter,,,,everything u do online is being saved in big data bases.
Just like the sting song sayz ,,,i'll B watching U :)
The Internet is well past it's "Wild West" stage - that was 1996. Nowadays all the crime is driven by Corporate America. I went in and changed my personal information on Facebook to as generic as possible. But I still use FB.
Finally we agree again Ms. Resident. This is a buyer beware situation, you shouldn't give info to a company unless you have researched and found them to be of high moral fiber.
Facebook is a large company making hundreds of pounds a week in revenues, they are in a far better place to make a decision about how to use my private data. I think it's pretty arrogant to question then, they have geniuses working for them who are trying to improve life for everyone, opening barriers to communications and giving freedom to the world. It's laughable that anyone on here would have the audactity to question such a great company.
That still doesn't make it right however i dont disagree completely
As i said in my last comment if you allow people to get your info then you have no right to complain just don't write it down if you dont want people to know
@darkdestiny0002 Exactly we have to let companes like Facebook have the FREEDOM to run their business properly. It's capitalism, they have every right to use the data they acquire legally. I think the people who are complaining have something to hide! They have some horrible secret they are scared the world will find out.
@DreadsideNubune Actually under the Data protection it is illegal to acquire someone personal data without their knowledge and to pass it on without their knowledge. Facebook has changed their user agreement several times regarding data without informing its users therefore what they are doing is illegal.
You cannot change a contract after it has been agreed on. Without notifiying the concerned parties of the changes. Also if they don't agree you must offer them terms to get out.
@DreadsideNubune My personal information is my soveriegn property. Governments have to comply and send you what information they have on you when you state the data protection act to them so I doubt facebook is an exception to all the act entails.
Why has facebook not been done for anything? lol because they are based in a capitialist country in nation thats retarded enough to sell their civil liberties away daily.
@DreadsideNubune As I said my information is my sovreign property. I fully take responsibility for all my mistakes in my life. This is not about hiding anything. It is about companies respecting my civil rights
However my privacy is a human right. I don't want telesales companies phoning me up at all hours of the day or night distrubing my life because facebook illegally sold my details on.
@DreadsideNubune Blood is red? Whats your point? The law is a man-made construct but we still have to apply by it for society to function. Human rights are an essentail part of the law. The situation I described happens all the time! How do you think they get your details in the first place.....
It is illegal and companies have been fined for it in the past. Facebook is just lucky it is big fish but like most companies they will get far too cocky and eventually have to pay the price.
@DreadsideNubune - you mean I shouldn't have posted the location to my secret gold stash on Facebook? How about the basement dungeon where I've kept that immigrant girl the last couple years?Oh, yeah, I see what you mean.
@darkdestiny0002 No, as I CLEARLY stated they have changed the User agreement serveral times without informing there users. That is illegal. You cannot change a contract after the fact without forming another agreement and have both parties invovled have to agree to it, furthermore you must give those that signed the oringal user agreement a clause to get out, if they choose to do so.
illiterate?
Privacy settings are on most social sites exactly for the. Privacy of information.
you expect that all the info they given legally have to be removed from the companies theyve sold it toThats not possible who know how many people that would be needed to forget itThey might have changed the expired however you still have them the information if your so angry about the change of user agreement then why dont you sue themWhy dont you try to stop all of the sites that doesnt tell their users thatAnd why are they not allowed to change it i thought you were for freedom
@darkdestiny0002 Hey maybe the government should be allowed to change the contractual agreement on the land house house is built on without informing you? FREEDOM!
Hey maybe your home insurance company should be able to change the contractual agreement you made with them without inforaming you? FREEDOM!
@darkdestiny0002 Freedom of expression! its just like drawing a picture but your building one! Freeeedom Freedom! freeeeee! Don't you want to be free?!?!? Your clearly against freedom fo speech! How unreasonable and uncivilised.
@darkdestiny0002 No actually its the sound of sarcasm. I was making fun of the draw muhammed day people for the zealious freedom of speech behaviours. The Same people that are not opposing the freedoms of the muslims to build that mosque.
Big surpise... Not really if you put your info on the net then its okay because you accepted them to have your info dont write it if you dont want people to know
