I just assume that all my information is public knowledge whether I'm logged on somewhere or not. I also assume there are cameras everywhere watching me 24/7 because really...there is no such thing as privacy and anyone who thinks there is is fooling themselves.

There is a certain level of privacy one can have by staying out of all social media. I definitely don't have cameras inside my own home watching me. I live alone, and nobody has access to my home but me.

I love it when I google myself and cannot find myself. That's a good sign.

I love fb. My son and his gf have gone to Europe for a month to celebrate him finally finishing the last two courses for his B.A.. I've been following along with the pictures they post daily.

Plus I just talked to him over FaceTime. Seeing them, laughing with them. Priceless.

Same here.

FR.

I'm not really fussed if Facebook or any other entity collects my information as part of aggregate data. And I don't really mind if that data is used to target ads my way. I would be concerned about individual persons having access to and habitually looking through my personal information accessed via a website, but I kind of doubt that's happening enough to actually warrant concern.

I love Facebook, too. I don't like talking on the phone, even long before social media or texting became a part of my life, so Facebook has actually brought me closer to my long-distance relatives.

You do know there are normally cameras on street corners, at least here in the USA, and then there's Google Earth and other satellites and you do know your laptop has a cam right? Personally I keep a piece of tape over mine just a precaution. People do hack them.

I am on an old traditional PC. There is no camera staring at me.
My entire house is curtained as I am naked at home 24/7. And it's illegal to be naked in your own home over here. So no Google Earth or Cameras gonna be able to see me inside my own.

That's got to make bathing and changing clothes kinda tricky.

How they harvest it

I told you, they track you even when you aren't logged in, so they just matched the "cat" profile with the info they had on you on the basis of the tracking cookies.
Basically, if anybody uses Facebook on a computer, then that computer's activities are tracked and collated.

In case it hasn't been said: It's called an IP address. You can't be tracked, when you're not online. If any one of your devices is online, you browsing is being monitored. It's not just Facebook. All big-name internet browsers, and even some smaller ones, monitor your browsing. If you don't like it, either don't use the internet or figure out how to prevent the monitoring.

It's not like they're doing anything harmful. So, what, your likes and dislikes are being sold to advertisement agencies. So, what, they're displaying adds that are more relevant to you; instead of 'Get your viagra, here.' If you don't like adds, there's Adblocker. If you don't mind the adds, what's the big deal?

Well, you really only get in trouble if somebody saw you naked in your own home and reports you.

Wasn't there recently posted a case where an American guy was standing naked inside his own home by his window? And then he got in trouble for that, because ladies think his flashing them?

To me, if his within in his own home, and his naked, even if his standing by his window, it's his own home. There shouldn't be a problem.

People should be allowed to be naked within their own premises, but I guess nudity offends others IF they see it .

I have said since the beginning of time the biggest piece of spyware out there is facebook. My how its tentacles have spread over the epochs.

And I am always correct. Those who do not believe this to be so present themselves to me on their knees, in finest corset and oiled up, so I may commence correction – today I favour the knobkerrie

Why anyone is on that site or twitter escapes me…but goddamit no wonder I use telegram, as opposed to whats app, nothing I can do for my instagram account and its hundreds of cat pictures..sure I have a few of me. But even now I feel the creep of fb(policies), on insta slither up my thighs in search of my cock to throttle and drain of its declious juices.
