Ha!, just try deleting your own account on FB...it takes 2 weeks and if you login during the 2 weeks the clock starts over. Meanwhile, FB sends you emails in an effort to trick you into logging in.
You can close an account. But you can not wipe the entries in the database, pretty much like here. Unless someone with admin to the db chooses to. It isn't evil it's just a design for data safety, no evil intent. Every bit sent over the net is harvested by the NSA and stored for mining by contractors before it ever reaches the DB it's aiming for today. That is what concerns me. Those filter algorithm writers are who I am concerned with. Them and their mathematician cousins.
yes your right but I deleted everytrace possible between facebook and me. So yes old stuff is still there but not 1 new thing about me is there so thats a blessing
I know he isn't the only one who deserves it, but he is one hell of a start...Why would you suggest anyone email the NSA or even put their IP on their site? Further murdering Zuckerberg seems extreme? Should we blame the inventor of the technology for any potential negative side effect of any of their inventions? If so there's a long list to murder. Frankly the time was ripe for this. If it wouldn't have been Z it would have been someone else.
The problem is anything sufficiently powerful has both a negative and positive side. Possibly we should be asking ourselves how to grow up as a world. Not pointing at the next enemy to murder. This entire scape goating thing merely takes our eyes off the prize: TYPE I (Kardashev scale).
What I wonder is how any sentient adult could not have seen this coming. I have NEVER had a Facebook, Myspace or other social aggregation account it just seemed seriously juvenile and potentially dangerous. Then again I was lucky enough to be a software engineer and specialize in network middle tier, we just didn't know to call it that then LOL! It was mostly flat files in the beginning but we advanced.
So let's blame MySQLPgSQL MSSQL ORACLE etc..., they are as much to blame as anyone or anything else. This is another example of anything sufficiently powerful having both a negative and positive aspect. Let's work on balance.
pirated wi-fi
Have you ever checked personal email on that same wifi? Or gone anywhere else that has any personal data at all on it? They now know exactly who you are.
don't care
That pretty much sums it up for me. I understand what happens {to some degree} when I hit enter and recognize the risks involved in that action but to what extent am I going to allow the unseen dictate what I can and cannot do, only so far.don't care
All zuckerburg did was create a website, and then sell it. It's hilarious that anyone would upload personal info to the public domain and then whine about privacy.
Yes, I have also found it odd that people are comfortable having conversations at restaurants since most restaurant owners have installed listening devices - or having sex in front of their Xbox.
