And so we discussed this ad nauseum on the other threads. It’s like prophylactics. The only 100% method is abstinence!!!!

Also this kind of thing get’s around, if FB changes that link code in a nefarious way the internet WILL notice and WILL complain,
That would be true if the simple looking link was “web 1.0.”
But since the FB server gives back a dynamically generated script, that can be tailored by referring link, time, requestor IP, etc, then the same old simple link from JimRob simply gives them a hook to do whatever with whomever.

No it’s true right now. Every single time FB changes their security settings there’s a hundred stories on the net and half of them wind up on FR. Even if they did do a customized one for FR all JimRob (or any FR nerd) has to do is the EXACT SAME THING you did a couple times a week.

There are deeply embedded things that go beyond JS.
If you work with ethernet adapters, you are likely to see “Compliant with DoD protocol X.YY” or something similar.
Also, most people don’t know that the internet itself is a subset of a larger network. Certainly not larger in terms of size, but larger in terms of authority.
The Internet is a subnet of something bigger. Maybe it’s still Darpanet, but whatever it is, it’s not hidden or anonymous at all.
Think about it. Just like Internet chat. That’s peer-to-peer communication between someone? (Who????) and the actual mac address on your machine.
How many folks change their network hardware every time they log on?
It’s as unique as a phone number.
You do realize that this whole thing just proved me right. They made a change, it caused a stink, they changed it back.
100% abstinence from FB is silly for anyone that has a message to get out. There’s 600 million users, it’s literally the largest audience in the world, 2 entire US populations.
