Facegram & Instabook

Post by DMac »

Just saw the picture of Alec Baldwin's wife in her bra and panties in the classic in front of the mirror selfie pose. Wanted to let everyone know she was having a miscarriage.
We sure have elevated our every experience in life to must see viewing by the world. I'm sure glad there were just Kodachromes and phones on the wall in past years, although it would have been kind of nice if a topless selfie of DeeDee McNabb had been available for viewing back in then. People have lost their minds with their gadgets (including the Prez), put way too much stuff/info out there.
I don't participate, no thanks.

WASHINGTON — The American public holds negative views of social-media giants like Facebook and Twitter, with sizable majorities saying these sites do more to divide the country than unite it and spread falsehoods rather than news, according to results from the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

What’s more, six in 10 Americans say they don’t trust Facebook at all to protect their personal information, the poll finds.

maybe this is old news, i can't even tell anymore: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-med ... ds-n994706
Leaked internal Facebook documents show that the plans to sell access to user data were discussed for years and received support from Facebook’s most senior executives, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg and chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg.

For example, Facebook gave Amazon extended access to user data because it was spending money on Facebook advertising and partnering with the social network on the launch of its Fire smartphone.

All the while, Facebook was formulating a strategy to publicly frame these moves as a way of protecting user privacy.

But the documents show that behind the scenes, in contrast with Facebook’s public statements, the company came up with several ways to require third-party applications to compensate Facebook for access to its users’ data, including direct payment, advertising spending and data-sharing arrangements.

Facebook ultimately decided not to sell the data directly but rather to dole it out to app developers who were considered personal “friends” of Zuckerberg or who spent money on Facebook and shared their own valuable data, the documents show.

In April 2015, Connie Yang, a product designer, told her colleagues that she’d discovered apps collecting profile data she had marked as “only me” and displaying it to “both you and *other people* using that app.”

low level of trust gets lower. especially when i read this:

"But the facts are clear: we've never sold people’s data."

or this (ouch):

“I’m generally skeptical that there is as much data leak strategic risk as you think,” he wrote in the email to Lessin. “I think we leak info to developers but I just can’t think of any instances where that data has leaked from developer to developer and caused a real issue for us.”

or this:

So the message would be: ‘trust is really important to us — on Facebook

NY AG looking into privacy issues at facebook: https://www.axios.com/new-york-attorney ... 85462.html
New York Attorney General Letitia James said Thursday that she would open an investigation into Facebook’s collection of 1.5 million Facebook users’ email contact databases. The tech giant admitted last Wednesday that it had "unintentionally uploaded" the email contact lists of 1.5 million people without their consent since 2016.

It says that while Facebook has admitted that the contact books of 1.5 million people were directly harvested, "the total number of people whose contact information was improperly obtained by Facebook may be hundreds of millions, as people can have hundreds of contacts stored on their contact databases."

Business Insider discovered that upon entering your password, your email contacts would be uploaded without Facebook first asking for permission.

Facegram & Instabook & Tweetychat.

TO TWEET OR NOT TWEET.THAT IS THE QUESTION!

Was there no Life before there was Twitter?
Was it stodgy, lackluster or bitter?
I find Life too fleeting
To spend time in Tweeting,
I’m a face-to-face kind of a critter!

"We believe in freedom of expression and open dialogue, but that means little as an underlying philosophy if voices are silenced because people are afraid to speak up. In order to ensure that people feel safe expressing diverse opinions and beliefs, we prohibit behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence another user’s voice.

Context matters when evaluating for abusive behavior and determining appropriate enforcement actions. Factors we may take into consideration include, but are not limited to whether:

the behavior is targeted at an individual or group of people;
the report has been filed by the target of the abuse or a bystander;
the behavior is newsworthy and in the legitimate public interest.

Abuse: You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. We consider abusive behavior an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else’s voice.

....

Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. Read more about our hateful conduct policy."

The irony is completely lost on Trump supporters.

You tell the same people 4 years ago that a president was complaining to the CEO of a major social network that she was losing followers and deserved more because she was better at it, they would have laughed at you because she and you were a snowflake and private enterprise is infallible.

Now they whine because they are snowflakes and because private companies don't want the aftermath of being preyed upon by foreign governments in elections in case their guy loses.

Trump wants his cake and wants to eat it too. Again, and again seeing as he is one of the fattest presidents in history.

Saw this, am looking forward to it. Our gadgets and social media cesspool is absolutely awful with a capital A.
It's a horrible obsession/addiction, a real game changer, and not for the better, IMO.
Just the tip of the iceburg, to say nothing of the amount of life lost by heads buried in phones.
Teenagers have been the most prominent age group to report distracted driving at the time of fatal accidents.
Compared to all other age groups, teens ages 16 to 19 are three times more likely to get into fatal car accidents.
Around 660,000 drivers use their cell phones while driving during daylight hours.
Texting and driving are six times more likely to cause an accident than drunk driving.
Every day, 11 teenagers die from texting and driving accidents.
Texting and driving increase the risk of an accident by about 23 times.
Cell phone use is behind only drivers “being lost in thought” in causing the most distracted driving accidents.
About 25% of teenagers admit to answering texts once or more every time they drive.
Studies have proven that teens who text and drive veer out of their lanes around 10% of their total drive time.
On top of these statistics, TeenSafe reports an unsettling number of drivers to believe they can safely multitask behind the wheel. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of adults and 55% of teenagers say they can “easily manage” texting and driving. Only 20% of teens believe texting impacts how well they drive. These numbers show a frightening indifference to texting and driving and an attitude that has likely contributed to the increasing numbers of traffic crashes, injuries, and deaths due to distracted driving over the years.

Hiya chairman - Hope all is well for ya.

The line you quoted is 100% spot on. Recently, a right wing account in FB (Minneapolis Crime Watch) claims there are roving gangs of black Somali teens attacking people with hammers in downtown Minneapolis and in a train/bus stop at the University of Minnesota on Washington Avenue. I have been at both locales many dozens of times and know for a fact that there are innumerable video surveillance cameras at the Metro Transit stations and at every business or intersection there. Despite these so called reports (all of them re-posted by numerous right wing websites), not one video of any such attack has been posted. There are no police crime scene tapes or wanted signs anywhere. While there certainly are cases of street crimes in Minneapolis (the victims usually being those who go out drinking and attempting to return home late at night), police have not confirmed any reports of wholesale attacks by street gangs in those areas. In fact, the local news media (including Fox 9) have not reported nor documented any such incidents even though it was initially reported last week.

This series of fake news reports is similar to Breitbart's fake accounts of 1,000 man violent armies of African street gangs in Germany: https://www.google.com/search?q=breitba ... e&ie=UTF-8

Breitbart failed to present any evidence of its claims. The right wingers on that FB have failed to do the same. But you can bet that many right wing delusionals will believe that hate filled reich wing crap, just like they did in Nazi Germany when similar lies were spewed by the fascists.
It has been proven a hundred times that the surest way to the heart of any man, black or white, honest or dishonest, is through justice and fairness.
