It is time to go after these cyberbullies for slander.
I thought it was funny, anyway.
Nice thought...but....anyone can create a FB account for you.
I just saw that . . . rated as a “mixture of true and false information.” To the barricades?
Or you could just chuckle at their superciliousness.
Those involved with, and using social media, need their head examined.
A potential client won’t give a flip what your idiot sister posts. We all have silly friends and relatives.
It’s what YOU post that counts. And you can lock your page down so that no one but your “Friends” can see anything more than the most basic info.
You, not being my “Friend,” could search for my page today (if you knew my name), and you wouldn’t know anything about me that I didn’t allow you to see. Which is basically nothing.
My Facebook Friends can’t even see who else I’m Friends with. None of their business. I can also restrict or hide anything I want to on my Timeline. And I do.
The problem is that most people don’t use the Privacy tools. They don’t restrict access but do accept people as “Friends” who aren’t. Then they post waaayy too much personal stuff, even silly things like “having breakfast at Dennys with Sally.” I’m continually amazed at people who don’t lock down their pages, but post photos as they travel afar. Open invitation to burglars.
Sorry. Moral to this too-long post is to live smart, and it’s entirely possible to enjoy Facebook if you do.
Sorry, I don’t see rating some random email as a “mixture of true and false information” to be that controversial.
Neither am I scandalized if you like to use Snopes. Knock yourself out.
This requires a faceboot account? Well then go for it, you can’t hack what doesn’t exist. Social media is for needy, people that have to constantly let everyone know what they are doing. I just don’t care.
The trolls need to have their pages hijacked. Simple.
You are SO RIGHT about Snopes.
Those that can't see that are in the "forest for the trees" gang which has a substantial membership.
>>>I am pretty much resigned to the fact that eventually, my employer and my family will eventually have access to all that I’ve ever said here over the past 17 years.<<<
Same here.
Every comment I’ve ever written online is filtered through the thought that someday, somewhere, someone might want to use it against me. That’s not paranoia - it’s simply an understanding that posting something online is like standing in the middle of the road and waving at passing motorists. It’s a public place. Writing something here is like speaking with a bullhorn in the public square. This is something that I warn my students and my son about as well. Some listen; most don’t.
The other thing I have shared with my students is my guess that a growth industry will be those who scour the Internet to clean up reputations. In some cases, it’ll be a good living.
If I want something to be private, I write it on paper or speak to the person directly. That’s not perfect, either (and never was), but at least it’s not an idiot shouting from the rooftops.
“Nice thought...but....anyone can create a FB account for you.”
Just like anyone can get a credit card in YOUR name. It is called ID theft.
OK, so technically there are legal ramifications for what these progressive ilk are doing...
1. Slander
2. ID theft
What other laws are they violating in their effort to destroy conservatives?
Violation of your Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion? What “right” do they have to terrorize you personally and publically? How is this really any different than when innocent people were hauled into the town square to be persecuted?
They poked fun at me over there.
Who cares?
Anyone who is concerned about this site mocking us over here think about it this way....
we discuss a lot of important issues over here that don’t get covered much anywhere else. Wichita Horror type things , ISIS, black on white prejudice and violence like the knockout game and the general hypocrisy of the left snd the overreaching of the nanny state.
some people are bound to get curious and wander over here.
Some will open their eyes some will reject our ideas.
But at least some of what’s happening will be seen by more people
Even the people who are awake have no idea just how bad it all is
I suppose if they are close minded enough they will dismiss it as hateful right wing rhetoric or urban legend but some people will start to see and learn
Please pardon spelling and grammar heavily medicated after oral surgery here
“Retreat??? Hell, we just got here!”
If someone's going to create a fake facebook account for you, what's the difference anyhow?
Snopes withered and dithered for YEARS to avoid calling Hillary Clinton a liar about being named after Sir Edmund Hillary. Their last dodge was to claim that her mama lied to her.
Finally they came out with the admission that even a staffer said it was made up.
More often, they take a true statement but hedge in the synopsis phrase so they can call it “innacurate” (yellow).
Also, they salt some truth with lies (like the list proclaiming that Obama went to Islamic classes, was listed as a muslim on school papers, etc. with the erroneous claim that he was sworn in on a koran).
Target hedged on reasons for turning away certain charities (I think one was a touring Vietnam Memorial and another was the Salvation Army).
Snopes ain’t worth much. The urban legend sections that made up much of their initial content were all stolen from Jan Brunvand’s well researched books on the subject.
