I do not do Facebook.
There are many ways the data is being collected.
IMHO, Facebook is one of the worst offenders.
I think it’s basically a honeypot. Kinda like another operation which grew rather exponentially....
But then, Nully gave me my official tinfoil hat when I joined up!
Never been there.
When I was hiring for classified positions, had some folks who were naive enough to have signed up there check names.
Crossed off any potential employee that was there.
Still got excellent employees, hah!
Yeah, it’s bad. Google is next, and that will be worse.
Internet tracking (cookies) has been a common practice for years on every site visited.
I’m not seeing why this is just now being discussed. I’ve been offended by this invasion of privacy for decades.
Only a lurker visiting sites related to cooking/recipes. A Member?? NEVER!! Any information they have re me is nothing but speculation, fantasy...or ill gotten. A house of Ill Repute has nothing on this crew of true deplorables
Google seems to be closely tracking everything posted here.
Google has a better FR search than the FR search feature...
LOL! There are those that find it suspicious if you DON’T have a social media presence. As in: “What’s wrong with this candidate? What’re they hiding?” Some people are just more private than others. Me, ain’t nobody’s business what I got or what I do unless I decide they are worthy of sharing. ;-)
My fake fakebook page has me as a white man who thinks he is a black lesbian.
I should see what kind of stuff they have on me.
I never use the “G” if it can be avoided. My phone keeps telling me I “need” to turn on certain things google related. Uh, no, I don’t. And still there’s data out there.
LOL! Cause now they’ve been outed. I have my browser set to delete history and cookies anytime I close it down. That’s why I always keep getting asked the same security questions on certain sites I log into. And they still have trackers on me. And you. ;-)
Lose a limb and obtain a latina last name on your fakebook page and you’ll really have them.
Make a post on FR. Search Google for your post a minute later and it will find it. Amazing.
OK, no presence on FB. That's good. Then the author wrote: The social network had even kept a permanent record of the roughly 100 people I had deleted from my friends...
LOL...he DELETED 100 "friends" and claims he was a "lurker." What a joke. Other than family and true old college friends, I've added, I think, maybe one "friend" on FB. I have maybe 7 or 8 total.
but more importantly, how do you look up this info and how do you delete it from facecrook?
thankfully, I don't use it much...no pics...etc..
BOOKMARK!!!
“Google has a better FR search than the FR search feature...”
Yep. I see FR posts linked when I search for something on Google ALL THE TIME.
