Ummmmmmmm ... what?
I get zero ads since I installed the extension called FBP, Face Book Purity.
The concept, one that I don’t agree with, is that the use of facebook is a trade for your information. But if you never use facebook. I am not sure why this is ok. You got nothing.
Just saying, in europe, you cannot keep information about people after you can’t show a “need” for the information. So I can keep information about you while you are on the site. But once you leave, I can’t store it. I think EUrope has it right here.
Do Ghostery and NoScripts eliminate this tracking?
The purpose of Facebook is to advertise yourself. If you are trying to hide, you are doing it wrong.
“even if you’ve never registered an account on the site”
How?
It says you can check on what they have....but only if you have an FB account...
One of the biggest reasons I never get near social media. All the “biggies” take your information AND SELL IT. You name them...MS, Yahoo, Google, all the SM services, your grocery store, etc....it is big business and bucks for them.
Which underscores the fact that ANYTHING you put on, or via the net, is PUBLIC information.
It includes screen shots of bank statements?
That is terrifying, especially if anybody can download your data.
No they’re called COOKIES and all the websites use them constantly. It’s a post privacy world folks, you’re just a data point.
Bkmrk.
I have in the past gone out on the internet and did a search on my name - I saved the images and then posted them all as me on facebook - must of been at least a hundred different photos but same name. I guess the same would work with just random photo off the net.
I have in the past made random search (places or things)just to see what they do with the info (usually end up with travel information to the places I searched.
When ever I can give wrong information I do.
I am sure they have ways of filtering but I at least make them work on it.
I use facebook to share old family photos and genealogy information. It is a lot easier then sending photos out to everyone in the family
Facebook and even Pinterest must “listen” to what is said around my computer/ipad/phone because I receive ads for things I never looked up but did talk about. Sometimes I receive ads for things my family talked about.
Another Dindu Nuffin, transparent to the media.
Any lawyer interested in a class action suit, sounds to me like invasion of privacy or maybe stalking.
BTTT
hmmm.....so Breitbart intends to bury Zuckerberg under tens of millions of requests for personal data. Interesting strategy.
NoScript and uBlock Origin are your friends. (And keep those third-party cookies disabled.)
I had a bat in my house last week. I told my neighbor about it in a Facebook message only - not on the public part of my page. The next time I went to YouTube, there was quite a large ad that said “Bats in Your House?” with a listing of an exterminator with an Ohio area code! (I live in Ohio)
