Pass this on to your family too.

Just one of the reasons I pulled out of this stuff. If facebook etc isn't stealing your information and selling it then someone else is waiting to steal from you...

When I joined facebook a long time ago it was because my wife was already on there and my kid was signing up. I saw what people were saying that were her friends and frankly it scared the crap out of me. Why would you EVER tell anyone when your not going to be home. That runs along the lines of your kid not telling strangers that they're home alone or a babysitter.

Then when I really started doing research of how this company can stay in business and have a business model where they don't charge the customer or derive the income off a user, only advertisers...I perked up and read more. Everyone needs to understand that they are mining the information on the site and are deriving income from advertising based on the information they know about you. Big brother and many more are watching. Very scary. So set you profile private. Big deal they still got alllll your information stored in a database. They also have your ip address, your computer address, etc etc. ONE halfway decent hacker is going in there one day and is going to infect tens of millions of people with a virus...or steal the database.

Yes I've heard people say put false information in there...well then why are you there in the first place if I can't look you up with your own name :)

I dumped facebook. Unfortunately they still got my information. I guarantee they did not delete it. It's been saved and stored in some computer or backup somewhere.

This online fraud and criminal bull%$%$%$%$ is wrong.

Google has done pretty well providing searches for free and selling ads. In my experience, the most dangerous person to give your credit card to is a waitress from Eastern Europe who works on Block Island during the summer. Later on, that very same night, she sends the data back to her associates in the Ukraine. I can understand why she would do it, it makes much more sense than coming halfway around the world for tips and getting her butt grabbed by drunken boaters. People guard their data and get all paranoid, but don't think twice about handing it to woman that a BCI can't be done on who takes their card and disappears for ten minutes.

every site does the same thing, it's easy to read your browser cache. safest way to protect yourself is to not plug in your computer

Had a computer tech teacher tell me that .....the safest way to have security...

is to get on the computer do what you need to do and then shut it off....

at the time i used to think he was just kinda paranoid
but in reality he was right on the money
