2010: Facebook's Zuckerberg Says The Age of Privacy Is Over - New York Times

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told a live audience yesterday that if he were to create Facebook again today, user information would by default be public, not private as it was for years until the company changed dramatically in December.

Disclosure: I do have an account under a phony name that I check in on every once in a while.

Totally anonymous.

I think we're seeing the evidence that nothing is totally anonymous. They are tracking the device you login with, they are tracking your IP address. They don't need your name to build a profile, but I'm sure they have that anyway.

Sure. But basically I have nothing to hide. And at least I don't get targeted ads or other crap to try to influence my decisions.

My wife, on the other hand........

I might very well be your 'friend' and you don't know it.

I was on Facebook for a week about ten years ago...

I was contacted by someone from my Kindergarten (?) and a random co-worker from waaay back in the day.

I deleted my FB account immediately, glad I did.

My impression was and still is, if I cared about you, we would still be in contact, no FB necessary.

Life is just fine without Face.

FEC NEEDS TO PROBE OBAMA AND FACEBOOK, SAYS EX-COMMISSIONER
Campaign official admitted company 'allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else'

“A federal law bans corporations from making ‘direct or indirect’ contributions to federal candidates. That ban extends beyond cash contributions to ‘any services, or anything of value.’ In other words, corporations cannot provide federal candidates with free services of any kind. Under the Federal Election Commission’s regulations, ‘anything of value’ includes any ‘in-kind contribution.'”

Carol Davidsen, the former media director for Obama for America, who confessed Facebook gave the 2012 Obama campaign “direct access to the personal data of Facebook users in violation of its internal rules, making a special exception for the campaign.”

Fake.

Boring.



This is becoming routine:

Take the allegations against Trump, spin them around and attach them to either Hillary or Obama.

Look, if you need to attack Hillary in order to defend Trump, that’s called:

LOSING.

It was boring when Bush the Lesser was Prez, it was boring when Obama was Prez, it’s just as boring now.

And I get the Tits for Tots, or whatever the friend you mean, but things seem different now...

The Trumpatistas wanted some furniture thrown around?

The difference is that you are emotionally invested.
