That could help mind, if one rarely talks to people and spends too much time on farcebook
How much time is that exactly, is it more or less than time spent on cycling social media?

Obviously the standards of Facebook are extremely low. If Facebook can't deal with this themselves then maybe political powers need to make them....it doesn't go against any of our specific community standards.

You haven't really considered this have you? Facebook tracks you across the internet, it builds up a profile of your likes and dislikes, it matches you to your friends, family and acquaintances, and sells this information to third parties so that you and your contacts can be subjected to targeted advertising and targeted news feed. Welcome to your own personal bubble. Not only can this bubbling be misused, it is actively being misused.

Yes and all text messages and emails are also tracked and stored.

If that is aimed at me you couldn't be more wrong
I use adblock on everything.I see no ads
Of course crap appears on my FB feed even if I report and block it but it's no different so seeing billboards when driving.It doesn't influence what I buy so I have no problem with it.Ditto Twitter/Instagram.
Why is everyone so hung up on social media and especially Facebook being the devils child?
1.Switch on your laptop/PC/Tablet...it's being monitored/tracked/stored
2.Switch on your mobile phone....monitored/tracked/stored
3.Use your Bank/Credit card....monitored/tracked/stored
4.Car have inbuilt Satnav?.....monitored/tracked/stored
5.Satellite/Cable TV?...monitored/tracked/stored
Basically if you're alive you are being watched but hey let's just blame Facebook :rol.
Simple texts and emails can be traced as obviously they are stored on computers somewhere. They are a one to one connection similar to a phone call, not actively tracked by commercial third parties. Web browsers can be a multiway connection from you to many with active tracking. With Facebook you need to sign to their terms and conditions and it is actively multiway and tracking is a fundamental part of its existence. That is a big difference.100%JR wrote:MikeF wrote:Except Facebook does more than track and store.100%JR wrote:Yes and all text messages and emails are also tracked and stored.

And you know this how?
Do you have proof other than what you’ve read....on the internet or in some comic?
You are being watched/monitored 24/7.Facebook is the least of anyone’s worries
