We certainly are surrounded by all shapes of evil.

You are a free person and I would never tell you what to do. I stand by my assertion that to put your life on FB is to be foolish. There have been murders that were enabled by facebook and I know one person that was stalked and assaulted by someone that was a “:friend of a friend”. Just be careful... if I didn’t care I wouldn’t critique.

“Dallas59 is now sitting in front of his computer, in his underwear, drinking coffee.”
“Hey, me too! But, how did you know? Did you hijack my computer’s camera? Shame on you!”
Dallas59 wasn’t the one who hijacked your computer, but I sure did. You ought to buy some new clothes, maybe hire a
decorator or something... because... wow.

PS I can live a long time w/o Facebook...
It would cost FB money to have a human review every spam-block or bouncing. Then again, it would be nice if FB had somebody spot-checking these automated bouncings, and where it's abused, have a button available to the mod where he could flag every user who abused the "spam" or "abuse" button flagged to be ignored in the future. And tell them that this was done.
I stopped paying attention to the examiner website some time ago, not too long after they ran an article along the lines of some ufo conspiracy or other. After looking more closely at the site, which I had first taken at face value since drudge and WND are not exactly mainstream media, I discovered that they print ANYTHING, with no vetting whatsoever and trust their "citizen reporters" to "self-verify" themselves, with personal blogs an accepted method of sourcing any articles posted.
It's no thanks I'm thinking, boyos.
Of course precautions must be made. I’m trying to think of how a person could be stalked by a friend of a friend on FB without actually Friending the stalker. Unless you mean they stalked them outside of FB. You just use common sense. Don’t put provocative pix of yourself, tell everyone that you will be on vacation for the next week, etc. Sure you may hear some stories of things that may happen to someone, but usually it’s someone who didn’t use caution when posting.
Our local Gannett newsrag went to Facebook only posting on their discussion forums a couple of years ago. The result was that threads which used to get 100+ comments are getting a dozen or fewer, and those which used to get a dozen are down to one or two. I guess I’m not the only one who fears having his house burned down by offended progressives.
I have 30 years in the IT sector and have never even considered opening an account with any of these security black holes.
Does anyone know if a user can track who just “looks at” their page?
Okkkkk.....and a picture of you NOT on the internet????? Do I even want to know???
:) Hilarious!
I hope that all these aggrieved FB users sue FB to recoup their initial deposit and their monthly membership fees and for damages for their pain and suffering and have their long term FB contracts declared null and void. No wait…what?
One of many. Better to stay away and not be involved. We’re tracked, scanned and photographed way too much already.
My plan: be as invisible as possible. YMMV
This has been going for several years it is why no longer post there.
I was banned many times for responding to inquiries concerning my products that were adverised with paid ads on Facebook.
It is the single most hostile environment for paid advertising on the planet.
It is truly stupid.
NO! My hair is mussed up.

Oh! Oh, then I completely understand! Nevermind then. :D
