I know there is no privacy. I have known that for some time now. But at least until recently I had a delusion that among all the peering eyes was at least one pair that cared. . |

They are all far away, but they are my real friends, and yes, they HAVE helped me out and I have helped some of my friends out. but I don't play any of the video games. When I was more active on facebook, I didn't even use it 'right'..the way that it was 'intended' to be. I would sometimes even get prevented from posting links to articles I had read or pictures I had taken when posting from certain locations and what would come up is that I was doing it too much! They DON'T WANT YOU THINKING ON IT. They want you to use it the way THEY want it used, and will continuously direct and point it out to you, and yes I noticed it. Nowadays Ijust use it to share a scenic picture now and then and keep in touch with friends and that's about it. I realized that all the news I was sharing and the opinions I had were draining the very life out of me and I wasn't seeing that it was actually ever doing any good. it was just feeding into the loosh machine. and if I'm going to do that today, might as well TRY to make it good loosh, anyway, because other people siphon off that shit too. |

Forum Administrator User ID: 22251333 United States 09/05/2015 10:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | FB collects not only the messages, emails and texts of thier account holders--remember pinning your mobile phone number to "verify" your account, but it also collects every picture of you that you or others submit and tags. Facial recognition anyone? Your mobile number is now connected. You have no idea who or what gets whatever you have on your phone, or you recieve, or you send. Throw it away--write down the numbers you want to keep. Get a dumb phone and pay for it with cash, and use a monthly unlimited everything service like Straighttalk. $45/month. Buttloads cheaper than all the other services. Get in the habit of NOT toting it with you every second of the day--the mic and camera can be turned on remotely, without your knowledge. Consider dumping all social media--it is purely cointelpro--its how they track you. If you must use social media ONLY do it from a dummy box, with a legacy that is not YOURS(pawnshop) BIG BROTHER/SISTER is watching everything you do, but there are ways you can mitigate it.

It can be hidden from view, however Facebook reserves the right to hold your information and pictures in their database. Once in, you can never come out. My ex-girlfriend created an account for me after I broke up with her. She posted all the pictures she had of me with my real name and info about me. She added slander to it as well, stating the I had several STD's, a woman beater, gay, etc. It was a nightmare for a while. I was able to get the page removed but took a LONG time. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68023660 No problemo... “Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.” Aldous Huxley, Brave New World |

After seeing friend #7 get divorced, I had seen enough. I'm happily married. I don't miss the narcissistic behavior or the time wasted on it. If you're happily married, stay away. I used to get hit on all the time. People don't care if you're married. They just want what they want and assume if you're on there you're not happy in your marriage or relationship. I only have a few real friends, don't miss all the "acquaintances" and nonsense. I feel free now. So glad I was one of the lucky ones who didn't succumb to temptation. |
