Selling the data is called a breach? I did not know that

It's a trick cooked up by Facebook. In order to see if you've been affected, you HAVE to log in to Facebook to check. If you've deleted your account, they will have you again. Don't do it.

In Europe, they have a new law that allows the people whose accounts were mined are allowed to sue for $. They don’t have to prove that, as a result of the hack, they were literally damaged, they just have to say they were upset about the breach.

Too bad we don’t have that law. Not that I’m in favor of more laws...I just think if Mr. $uckerberg had to shuck out some cash, he’d be a lot smarter with our data.

“The social networking giant said that the people can check whether their accounts were hacked by visiting ‘Help Center’.”

I couldn’t find it and when I asked the question in their self help, the answer was for a completely different question.

I finally got on after years of refusing.
Don’t spend much time on it. Correspond with the kids/ grandkids primarily.
Fortunately none of the information , including my name is correct.

I haven’t logged into my FaceBook account in five to six years. last time I was there I had something like 100+ messages, but it won’t let me see them - I have to download FB Messenger to access messages. Oh well.

I tell everyone I know that Facebook is pure evil when it comes to personal security and information. People seem to not care or believe it and treat it like an essential part of their life.

Another lame excuse to justify putting money in the pockets of liberal scum. Ever hear of email, telephone, U.S. Postal Service?
