I guess we should not be surprised.

I've never had an account on Facebook, but I do on Twitter.

Their motives? Power and Money. And they have a lot of that.

Joining Facebook is near the top of my bucket list of things never to do.

The New York Times utilizes the basic concepts of a stage magician. While you are busy looking at the private companies Facebook shared data with, you are _not_ looking at the NSA behind the curtain.

Compared to the automobile and aviation, social media is not going to help us win any wars.

Mark Zuckerberg LIED to Congress.

When will he go to jail?

Answer: NEVER. He paid them all off via "campaign contributions."

LOL. Not that I’m defending him, but its obvious that the long Liberal knives are out for Zuckerberg.

When on Facebook, you are not the user, you are the product.

It blows me away how foolish SO MANY are, to say "they have no Facebook account, so it doesn't affect me"

SHARING GOES BOTH WAYS!

Think about the PERSONAL information your PHONE COMPANY stored INSIDE YOUR PHONE.
Facebook COLLECTED that from every phone company.

Facebook knows almost very website you ever visited (thanks to internet "cookies").

Facebook created and collected DETAILED Dossiers on virtually every person in the world.
Eventually, the world will will learn, that Facebook IS the dark-hats of the deep state.

Hello?
Are you listening?

These things are CODED RADIO TRANSMITTERS!

As long as they are “ON” you have no idea what they may or may not be doing.
As long as you are within spoken range of ANYBODY’S phone, notebook, laptop etc. YOU HAVE NO PRIVACY WHATSOEVER!

Welcome to our new world.

Why is this a shocker though? The Zucker, going back to 2009/2010....he said all of this would be the path for Facebook to reach real profitability. He said this up front and we all seemed overcome now that he kept his promise. Or are they just upset that Trump’s team might have used this treasured private data to beat Hillary?

I maintain some presence on Facebook, but it’s a bare minimum. I can see a positive to it’s existence but people are sitting there and putting their entire life story in its full glory. You can sit and track people in life, as they divorce wife number one, marry up with wife two, and eventually get introduced to wife number five along the way. It’s probably something that we really don’t need to advertise.

owning a website means I know where you have been and where you are going when you visit me.

All of this crap is of limited effectiveness.

Marketing is big business and big business falls for it every time.

Yes, you do have to advertise (or no one knows you’re out there) but they seem to believe they can get you to do something you wouldn’t do otherwise (selling an eskimo a refrigerator).

I think the impact is more trivial than they make it out to be.

Trump won because of the state of the union, not because analytica made it so.

FB knew what it was doing. They will do anything for money. suckerberg is a disgusting worm. They cut his hair for the TV appearance, put makeup on him, found him a suit and tie, and taught him how to bite his lip a la bill clinton. Didn’t convince me. Oh, and how to look down in mock repentance, and how to be on the verge of fake tears so as to win the women to his side.
A worm.

I am on NO social media.

Even IF FB and Twitter were run by honest people, the whole idea of voluntarily surrendering your privacy is just plumb dumb.

FB? Really? So, if I’m on FB, hundreds (maybe, thousands) of people I have NEVER met... know ME on sight?

N O T!!!

In a tense appearance before Congress in March, Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, emphasized what he said was a company priority for Facebook users.“Every piece of content that you share on Facebook you own,” he testified. ”You have complete control over who sees it and how you share it.”

A diabolical lie. For example, DB won't let me log on unless I send them a drivers license or passport. How would I change my security settings without logging on?

“And the BETRAYER Will Have No Place In Heaven ...”

Apparently requiring revealing personal information (like your SSN) is nothing new for facebook (despite current news stories).

BOYCOTT
