Facebook - bringing the world glorious democracy and freedom of speech.
Well, freedom of speech we (facebook) agree with.
One should assume that everything you do on the net is being “observed”. Unless you go to extraordinary means to conceal it. Even that is becoming accessible to .gov.
>>Is there some poor soul who has to look at “junk” photos all day.
No. It’s computers running learning algorithms. Even the programmers don’t really know what the algorithms are looking for anymore. It’s basically Skynet before it got control of the missiles.
Watch some of these TED Talks on the subject. Most of the speakers lean left, but listen anyway. We really are nothing but useful farm animals these days. https://www.ted.com/topics/algorithm
“scans” is a euphemism for “scans, copies, uses, and sells”.
Sucker told everyone from the get-go, that he OWNS all content posted.
I have never been a member, but visit Facebook pages of small businesses that are. If the privacy of non-members has been invaded, there ought to be hell to pay.
Your smart phone also actively listens to your random speech content even when not on the phone. At work we have done experiments with this. Three of us will talk about an obscure thing like “squirrels in the garden stealing fruit”.
The next day we are getting pop up ads for garden pests and squirrel proof bird feeders.
Not mine. Never will.
Just Stay off social media
In Soviet America, internet scans YOU!
So Congress shouldn’t bother issuing subpoenas to the DOJ for messages and emails, it should just buy them from Facebook for $349.
The man called all your Facebook users dumbf*cks.
Accordingly, I will continue to daily pray for all you dumbf*cks who insist on staying with and using Facebook.......
Zuck the F*ck is actually the Joseph Goebells of the magic negro’s liberal fascist movement. The Zuck worked to organize social media in Egypt, Libya and Syria so as to help Obama’s ME espionage called Arab Spring, mobilizing the Muslim Brotherhood and others to riot and kill Christians in Egypt, for example. (Obama, with Zuck’s social media help, grifted NATO into destroying Libya so that the captured Libyan arsenal could be spread into Africa with groups like Boko Haram. Chris Stevens was meant to fail in Benghazi.)
Zuck the F*ck is a liberal fascist enabler of the 1st water, a Utopian fascist working daily so that Big Brother will bring about a perfect world in a coming totalitarian state called ZuckObistan. Zuck should be behind bars.
Zuck really Sucks. I hope they question him on Facebook’s involvement with “Arab Spring.”
I don’t use messaging and I only read on FB.
Not a problem until they admit they are listening in on my phone calls.
Messenger is the only Facebook item I actually use. It’s a great way to keep the family close since most of my kids have left the nest.
But, I also know that anything I type, including this is probably being seen by someone other than the intended recipient.
Publishers make BILLIONS from Facebook-directed traffic. When this collapses it is going to be ugly. Ironically the ones who will survive are the ones they throttled — and who adjusted to survive — the conservative “alternative” media
Of course they do
Are people surprised about this? EVerything you do on the Internet is tracked by someone. If you look at a product on Amazon, you see ads for similar products when you browse other sites. This is not a coincidence. When I leave for church on Sunday morning, IOS recognizes my iPhone has connected to my car, knows my habits, and alerts me the time to destination. If you are using normal apps and the regular Internet, you have no secrets.
So what? - it’s not like I’m the Secretary of State or anything...
Really? Ya think? Every keystroke you make that goes out over the net is being looked at by as many entities as can get hold of the packets. The bad news is that though nobody actually has to look at all of it, it's all being analyzed by somebody's software. The good news is that the sheer quantity, even after parsing, keyword analysis, fill rejection, etc. is still so overwhelming as to render it "non-actionable".
