About 3 years back I cautioned my wife re: Her postings on Facebook...especially to refrain from posting our Grandbabies. I never did subscribe because I refused to comply with their "Sign Up" rules. And here we are today...like Google's motto "Don't Be Evil"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erqDlspdJN8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azv8Gic9aMghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3k5P_J9GTUI could post a dozen more but I am sure you all are following the Silicon Valley Push to eradicate those who don't subscribe to the correct "Group Think"...Just wondering when the Brownshirts will show up...they already have on every College Campus. |

Never joined, I'm probably the only person I know who didn't. I think privacy is something I don't need to give away. The way I figure, little by little it's being taken away, and I value my privacy. Maybe , in some way, people will start to think more before giving it away.

I work in IT with a lot of other IT people and I find it's rare for IT people to participate in FB or use google.

If you are unable to put your phone away when with friends...maybe it is time to delete all your "virtual" friends and get a life. |

Never done any of them and what about the cloud? They say its secure, LOL.
The real problem is most all will not give a dam about how much information they give away as long as they can get their high. Why now by the way, this was known from the beginning and was ok why did this thing blow up NOW?

BTW, My main point behind this posting is that these Tech Giants are far left wing zealots that want to silence those who don't line up with their "Mein Kampf" dogma.
Your main point is seriously flawed. These "tech giants" are in it for the money. If Facebook was a "left wing zealot" trying to push their dogma, they would have stopped the Russian trolls, hackers, and robots from hurting the Clinton campaign.  |

Problem is most people don't have the basic knowledge of how to protect themselves from these Tech Giants....all buttons that benefit Facebook and not the "Client" are turned on by default. That is one thing that needs to be changed and it might take government oversight to fix that...problem is 190 countries...190 governments, it ain't going to happen. BTW, My main point behind this posting is that these Tech Giants are far left wing zealots that want to silence those who don't line up with their "Mein Kampf" dogma. Back in the early 30's Germany ignored the pervasive all encompassing thought police...well here we are again, but with a "Product" that was so easy to make a big part of your life. Youtube is also silencing "Conservative" points of view. A large number of Content Creators have been removed or demonitized for their opinion pieces. Dennis Prager of Prager University has a first amendment lawsuit filed against Youtube and Google that will probably make it's way to the supreme court. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YnDpoAeSjA |

I mainly use FB for watching videos of animals. Makes me laugh. I don't use my real name or birth date. I don't on any forum. I used a throwaway email. I have no personal information in my profile. I've never clicked a link no matter how tasty the bait seems. I've never clicked on a news link on FB. I assumed when I clicked "I agree" to the terms and conditions that anything and everything would be used. Anyone who thought otherwise is a fool. I was saddened to read that some 300,000 suckers clicked a link purporting to show H Clinton in a sex act. Lots of warped minds in the population.  If people read crap on FB that "persuaded" them to vote for Trump or Clinton they too are mindless suckers. EDIT. I did use FB to keep friends and family up to date with my house rebuild. |

it might take government oversight to fix that..
Government oversight and regulation is exactly what Facebook and the other big tech companies want, they desperately want it. They can afford hallways of lawyers and bureaucrats to stay on the right side of the law. The next garage start-up that will invariably unset them (And it will happen, remember MySpace? Yahoo? HotBot, etc...) can't afford to keep up with all the oversight and regulation. Government regulation of an industry provides a long term monopoly to the big players by keeping the new upstarts from being able to get into the business. |

You have an uncanny ability of hitting the nail on the head. Of course it is not just the tech giants but dang near all corporate giants. Keep the competition at bay. |

Mark said that was a mistake and they had been brought back. Last night Ms Silk and Diamond stated it had not happened and no one had talked to them from facebook. Look up how many former Pres. O administration members found their way over to the employ of Facebook, Google, Twitter, and others and a little interpolation will quickly give an astute mind the reason all this is happening right now. |

I signed up for FB as my family uses it extensively and I found I was out of the loop - have to make a page and "friend" them in order to read what they are doing. But I post nothing on my page - sometimes comment on theirs' but never any info I consider private. No pics of me - and I tell them, respect my privacy, they are not to put my pic or my info on their page either - no birthdays or info that I wouldn't want everywhere. I'm sure FB and Google already has a huge dossier on me but I'm not helping them with that. Never use google directly - search with duckduckgo instead. Never use Gmail - but they data mine not just their clients but everone their clients email - which is all of us. Don't use FB for the business for the same reasons and there is no doubt that hurts my business. If I did, who knows how big it would be. But then I'm not interested in growth so that's OK. Go read this to see what google mines about you and how to read that data as well as get them to delete it: https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/7-things-to-know-about-data-google-keeps-on-you |

There are Youtube Videos that show you how to modify your account to help some, but for sure you have the right message to your family re: your privacy...I do the same...but without the Facebook account. |

I think stuff on the Cloud is as secure as anything on my computer (or yours) when
my computer is connected to the Internet.
The password to my credit union and my 401k is on a thumbdrive. Several thumbdrives
actually, thumbdrives are notoriously unreliable, especially cheap ones from the checkout-isle
at computers-r-us...

Am I the only guy who keeps a long list of passwords and usernames and secret handshakes on a piece of paper hidden under my desk blotter? Crap, now I have to hide it somewhere else. Many, I use so often I know them. Others, I use so rarely I never remember them. And a lot of times, if you haven't visited for a long time, the first thing they do is make you set up another one (stop that!). A sixth of my time on Turbo Tax yesterday was trying to convince them it was really me. Now, I discover Social Security gave me a middle initial sometime last year I never had before. Over the decades, with no middle name, I've had to fill in a required blank a hundred times on various Government or private forms with NMN (no middle name) or NMI (no middle initial)..... and suddenly my middle initial is N. (although only the Lord knows if that's how it happened) It hasn't caused me any official troubles so far, and I am dreading trying to straighten it out. The last time I called them, they said they were so busy they wouldn't even put me on hold (or call me back).... just try your luck later.My parents thought middle names were just foolishness, and we kids didn't get any. And I agree. But having to explain it your whole life may make worse than just having one. Official: Middle name?Me: None.Official: None is a weird middle name buddy.If they think I'm going over to their uber busy local office and spend a whole day standing around with my thumb up my butt to show them a birth certificate to fix THEIR mistake, they can kiss my fuzzy white butt. |

IF you're feeling somewhat technically inclined, this is what I do. I use a (Open source, free as in speech and free as in beer) program called Password Safe. It's a dedicated password manager that's heavily encrypted. You keep all your passwords and such in it, and it's protected by a master password. You can then keep the encrypted password database somewhere available in multiple places, like a Google Drive, One Drive, etc, access it from all your computers, your phones (There's an Android and iPhone version of the program), etc, while keeping your stuff tightly secured at the same time. If interested: https://pwsafe.org/ |

Thanks Serk. It just seems to me that trusting computers connected to the internet to keep me protected, is not as safe as (something hidden away in) my house. The Fed already let my entire federal digital footprint get hacked, twice.
I know there's always a first time, but my house has never been hacked.
And it is very likely the guys that would do that in my poor neighborhood would just be grabbing stuff and running, not trying to capture my identity or digital footprint stuff.

I understand that concern. But in a fire, or other disaster where that magic piece of paper is lost, you're hosed... PWSafe uses 256-bit Two Fish encryption, which was developed in part by Bruce Schneier. It's good stuff... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twofish |

Er, what do you mean by it has no clipboard? Copy and paste work normally, for me at least? Or are you looking for more advanced usage where you can have multiple copy buffers, save them, etc? |

Youtube is also silencing "Conservative" points of view. A large number of Content Creators have been removed or demonitized for their opinion pieces. Dennis Prager of Prager University has a first amendment lawsuit filed against Youtube and Google that will probably make it's way to the supreme court. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YnDpoAeSjAIf you don't like what they are doing, feel free to come up with your own equivalent. remember - he who owns the gold, makes the rules (and vice versa, apparently). Freedom of the press is for those that own the press... NO...lets deal with the HERE and NOW, not some deflection that you think is appropriate in your very short sighted comment. Facebook originally set out to be a social sharing network, but it quickly morphed into this monster that we see today, that Suppresses Opinions of Identifiable Religious and Political Groups. This Platform with World Wide Influence is run by an Immature Young Man who lives in an Echo Chamber of Borderline Marxist Ideas that filters out a lot of Common Sense and Decency, along with a Cabal of Far Left Employees with Precious Little World Experience and Very Little Regard for the Long Term Consequences of its actions. It needs to be reigned in with some rules that protect your First Amendment at all costs. Unfortunately I am not wise enough to Guess what the answers might be but the Socialist/Marxist Mecca of Silicon Valley in general deserves much more scrutiny than they are getting today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qyTTNcUPS0 |

Actually it originally started out as a way for college dudes to get laid. (Seriously) As to the rest of your comment, I must respectfully disagree. As big of a believer in free speech as I am, the 1st amendment only restricts governments, not private enterprise. Just as the VRCC is fully without their rights to set up rules as to how their site can be used (Or even if it can be at all), Facebook is also fully within their right to run their website how they see fit. If I don't like it, I don't accept their rules and don't play on their playground, but it IS their playground. |

This was the funniest thing I saw all week. "Y'know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... " -- Quint from the movie Jawshttps://imgur.com/gallery/WdCbAxF |

Of course it's wrong (Illegal? that's still being debated.) but why the outrage and shock. They're doing what they have been doing for a long, long time and just about everyone has known it. They were clever enough to provide and promote a product that people want so much they will close their eyes to what is going on with their info.
The real shame is that people keep feeding what they're eating.

What about people like me who have never have...and never will sign up...who is minding my security when bad actors like Zuckerberg steel my information??? “In general we collect data on people who are not signed up for Facebook for security purposes,” Zuckerberg said Wednesday in a hearing about the social network’s privacy practices in Washington before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
His questioner, Representative Ben Lujan, a New Mexico Democrat, said the practice creates “shadow profiles.”
“You’ve said everyone controls their data, but you’re collecting data on people that are not even Facebook users who have never signed a consent, a privacy agreement,” Lujan said.Zuckerberg is a Barefaced Liar IMHO...and reminds me of "Data" the Cyborg from Star Trek who struggles with understanding what human emotions are all about...creepy A Class Action Lawsuit by millions of members and NON-MEMBERS is Probably in Facebook's near future...WHAT ABOUT MY RIGHTS AS A NON-MEMBER...I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS. |

The Pentagon canceled its so-called LifeLog project, an ambitious effort to build a database tracking a person's entire existence. Run by Darpa, the Defense Department's research arm, LifeLog aimed to gather in a single place just about everything an individual says, sees or does: the phone calls made, the TV shows watched, the magazines read, the plane tickets bought, the e-mail sent and received. Out of this seemingly endless ocean of information, computer scientists would plot distinctive routes in the data, mapping relationships, memories, events and experiences. LifeLog's backers said the all-encompassing diary could have turned into a near-perfect digital memory, giving its users computerized assistants with an almost flawless recall of what they had done in the past. But civil libertarians immediately pounced on the project when it debuted last spring, arguing that LifeLog could become the ultimate tool for profiling potential enemies of the state. https://www.wired.com/2004/02/pentagon-kills-lifelog-project/DARPA LifeLog terminated February 4th,2004. Facebook launched February 4th,2004 Look for PRISM He knew Zuckerberg sold nearly $500 million Facebook stock in February
