But those results won't be as relevant to the search. Sure, you can get results by googling pretty much anything, but that was beside the point...DiM wrote:then google "facebook privacy success" and you'll get 3 times more results.
Sure it can... until, whoops, facebook decides your private information should actually be public to everyone. Think it won't happen? It has happened before...DiM wrote: PPPS: facebook can be used safely if you apply common sense. unfortunately most users are imbeciles that would gladly share their credit card info
Not wanting to hand control of your private information over to a website that has proven multiple times that it has no respect for your wishes regarding how you want that information to be handled is not paranoid, it's just common sense.DiM wrote:PPS: i don't have a facebook account or any other social network account for that matter. not because i'm paranoid but simply because i do not need it.


Oh but it doesn't stop there. FB also collects information from you involuntarily. You know about tracking cookies?QoH wrote:I agree with DiM on this one. People who post all their info, even if they restrict it are idiots.
FB's only use for me at least is staying in touch with friends, getting help with homework etc, getting updates for sports teams etc.

what private information? if you apply common sense. then no private information should be on their servers to share.natty_dread wrote:Sure it can... until, whoops, facebook decides your private information should actually be public to everyone.

How do you feel about facebook knowing your entire browsing history, including all sites you visit - even ones that have nothing to do with Facebook?
How do you feel about Facebook keeping an archive of all the images you upload there, even if you request deleting of them?
How do you feel about Facebook censoring your private messages, and not allowing you to include addresses of certain websites in your private messages on Facebook... like, for example, sites that criticize Facebook?
How about your browsing history?DiM wrote:what private information? if you apply common sense. then no private information should be on their servers to share.
Sadly, no bullshit.DiM wrote:bullshit. yeah and facebook also knows the size of my underwear.
That means you also won't be able to use Facebook. (Not that it's a bad thing or anything...)DiM wrote: firefox can be set to accept cookies only from the sites you trust. so if you don't trust facebook then you won't get those tracking cookies.
Sadly, these days, it's likely your moron friend will put your image on facebook without asking you...DiM wrote:if you don't want them to have your sensitive images then don't upload them.

I didn't claim it was.DiM wrote:it also isn't an invasion of privacy.
Yeah... for now.DiM wrote:again, facebook only gets what you give it. don't give out sensitive info and you'll be fine.

No, YOU have the wrong idea.isaiah40 wrote:YOu have the wrong idea about tracking cookies natty. They are only used for the website they are from. If you have your browser set to accept cookies then all someone has to do is look at all your cookie crumbs and see what sites you visit. Cookies are site specific, not web specific. So if you don't want people to see where you have been, then delete all cookies from your system.
