Life in the fishbowl
A look at facebook. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
Interesting to me that people complain about these privacy issues but, the fact is, people just give their information away.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I always assume that information posted on the internet is available to everyone, everywhere, forever, for any purpose, regardless of the site’s privacy policy and normal operation. I then choose what I post accordingly.
I don’t understand why so many people seem unable to grasp that.

And then they expect the Gubbmint to do something about it.
What business of the Senate’s are Facebook’s security policies and procedures? WTF does the Senate have to do with airline policies for carry on or checked baggage? Etc.

Doesn’t seem like most people really care about who has their information…until it gets compromised. Then they want to cry foul, even though they’ve freely turned it over to someone else’s keeping. All you can is try to get the word out.
Thanks for the link Unc!

I always get those invitations to join a group or take a poll or something and when I click, they say, “We are going to get a crapload of information from you, including my phone number, and use it as we wish”.
So I don’t take polls or join groups because I don’t want them to have that much info.
I give them as little info as possible and fake much of the rest.
I use the wrong birth date on all those sites, 2/29/64. It’s close enough to my birthday and that way, I only get birthday spam every 4 years.
They don’t need to know my phone number or my birthday.
