Facebook mess ......

I'm not a Facebook guy but I have been following the mess that they find themselves in. Of course, I understand people's concerns with their information out in cyberspace but since I have never registered as a user, what exactly does a guy provide? Obviously, name and email information, then maybe (but not necessarily) things like home address, birthday, likes, and so on. Anything more that they give you the option of entering in your info file? And then that stuff was sold off to others which is unethical. I guess my question is, how can an individual be "compromised" with that limited bit of information being made available to others? I remember when my name and address was in the local phone book back in the day.
 
It surprises me people are not really ------ about this, pretty much giving all your private information to social media so they can resell it.
 
Had a PC since 2000 and have never been inclined towards joining up, been invited by friends countless times but something kept me away, but I'm sure there is enough personal inadvertent info out there just by using any search engines etc.
 
Never been on Facebook never will be. My nephew is and showed me what some put out. Some put out their complete history on there. People call me crazy because I have none of that stuff. No Facebook,Twitter,cell phone or any of the new modern junk.
 
How much personal information can be gleaned from posts on here if you're paying attention? Where you live,date of birth,age,political persuation,medications you take,kind of car you drive.....the list goes on and on. I'm not on FB,but I would imagine the stuff on there is as personal or more.
 
I accidently opened a facebook page this morning and I think it contained a virus. I had to shut the computer off to get off the page.
 
Internet is an odd place. I was looking for a new cargo trailer a couple years ago, searching on line.For the next 6 months everytime I looked at anything on internet, Nascar, Craigslist,any Google search for anything ,all the ads were for cargo trailers. Same thing when I was shopping for new nail guns. Odd how it cross references. I guess Facebook gathers info too. We have never put " personal" info on there.
 
Hi David ..... you mention being surprised but isn't that what this is all about though, the fact that people (or at least somebody) is pi$$ed off that they sold info?
 
The previous administration used FB to gather information and even bragged about how smart the potus was for being ahead of the game. Now, the other party got involved and it's a bad thing....go figure.
 
From what I understand, when you went to play the add-on games and other sites, it is then, that they (those other sites) were allowed to collect your info. Also, if you constantly clicked or liked tractor stuff, they realized you would buy tractor parts. The were allowed to collect your name and email and your profile consisting of age, gender and city and birth date. The political sites used that to target ads for the election.
 
Same here. The one I couldn't figure out though,happened a few weeks ago. On the "player" for WRVK radio out of Mt Vernon Ky,there's a box at the bottom that usually has an ad for things like Google Chrome or something similar. On that one particular day,there was an ad for the salvage yard right up the road here in Michigan,on the local paper's webpage. When I linked up to WRVK,the same ad was on their player. I don't know how that happened. I'd think that player would be running the same ad everywhere in the world,but apparently not.
 
Don't forget,a lot of users of that site bought stock in it when it became available. I wouldn't think shareholders would get on the soapbox and start raising cane about them making money.
 
Is there a way to even sign off that site? The wife gave me her tablet because it was so slow. I couldn't get it to do anything for me,then I had the thought that maybe it was FB that was slowing it down since I was seeing everything she was sending out or receiving. She got on it for a few minutes then said she had logged out. About a week ago,I was trying to use it again while she was on her laptop and it was right back to where every message she was sending or receiving was popping right up on the screen of the tablet.

It led me to believe that once you log in to it,it takes over your computer and there's nothing you can do about it.
 
I guess everything is intertwined. I play solitaire on my Ipad, and you get an ad between each game. I had been looking at truck racks online, and got a truck rack site between games. Guess its not all bad- the rack was just what I was looking for, so I bought it. So now I suppose I've just encouraged them.
 
Its very scary the amount of data circulating on FB and elsewhere. As far as I am concerned nothing is safe on the internet.
 
I find it interesting that when then NSA was gathering and analyzing phone numbers to connect to known terrorist phones, the you know what hit the fan.
When the corporate world gathers data and sells it, there seems to be little concern.
Think about H&R Block and TurboTax for biggies.
When the government collects data, strict protocols are in place. Corporate business collects and uses our personal data without oversight, no one gets excited.
In the case of Facebook, the object of the data gathering is to basically perform a psychoanalysis of an individual and give feedback to alter a person's attitudes.
With Cambridge Anylical, the objective was to influence the election in Trumps favor.
I think I may know someone who received such feedback. She (Catholic) re-posted to everyone that the Pope endorsed nnalert. I'm not Catholic, but I don't believe the Pope endorses anyone other than GOD.
 
I'm not a Facebook user but my wife and kids are. From what they tell me a lot of people will post any and all personal info online like it doesn't matter. If you use a smartphone they collect all of your contacts info as well as your own unless you know to go to the settings and opt out.

What no one seems to get is there is no such thing as free. You do anything online and someone is going to pay whether it's you, advertisers, or company's collecting information to sell for any reason they choose. No matter what they tell you websites are there to make money so they either sell you something (like here at yt) or they sell the information. It's as simple as that.

If they do not respond, then "[i:654c4848f0]I'll follow up with you on that[/i:654c4848f0]".
 
No, all of those adds are localized. Some are right down to your neighborhood. That is why they gather that information.
 
I wonder why so many are so generalized then instead of things I search for? Today it Google Chrome again just like it so often is.
 
BINGO ! There is a huge divide of justice going on. The laws are not being applied equally and it is more obvious than ever.
 
Yeah Randy, all of this sudden indignation makes me laugh. Facebook is a "free" site. Zuckerburg has made himself one of the richest men in the world off this free site. Where the blue blazes did everyone think all that wealth came from????????????????????????? It's been no secret for most of the existence of facebook that your personal info was up for sale. Everyone knows who Zuckerburg is and what he is. Just for the record, he's not doing anything different than a hundred gazillion other sites aren't doing. And if what I am reading and hearing is true, Google is just as responsible for this as ole Babyface is.

I find it "interesting" that a good share of the congress-criiters "questioning" Zuckerburg have been on the receiving end of fairly hefty campaign donations from Zuckerburg..........................................

It's all smoke and mirrors to satisfy the unwashed masses.............................

That's an easy (but LONG) one to answer there Kevin. You stated that you were searching online for cargo trailers. Your browser settings (and maybe your choice of browser!) are the culprit. First of all, I never use Google search engine! I use DuckDuckGo, as they do not track you or keep track of your activity. Bing has gotten dang near as bad as Google as far as tracking your "online movements", all in the name of bringing you a more enjoyable and personable internet experience. Personally, it creeps me out!!

I have only recently started using Chrome browser, but ONLY for one specific purpose. I'm a Firefox fan but do not like where they have taken the newest versions, so am using an older version. Still, Chrome streams a little bit faster than any other browser for people (like me) who have very slow internet. Once we hit a certain point of data usage each month, our internet slows so much that I can't stream from Netflix, no matter how I try! However, can still get an acceptable picture from YouTube, even on Firefox. So the only reason I use Chrome is that once our speed slows down, I found that I can stream from Amazon with an acceptable picture using Chrome. I won't use it for anything else, so they have nothing they can track from me.

Also, there are settings on your browser. You can have your browser send a "Do Not Track" request. That helps a little, but not enough. You "could" go into full-scale Private Browsing mode and have all of your cookies deleted every time you close out the browser, but then you must re-log into everything manually each time, and other (to me) nice little conveniences are taken away. So I'm somewhere in the middle.

You can also use a decent ad blocker (I use uBlock Origin). That also helps prevent Google and others from tracking your online movements. It doesn't help sites like YT who depend partially on revenue from advertisements, but I never pay attention to advertisements anyhow. The more that websites "force" you to play certain video-ads or news-stories or ???-junk, the less I'll even waste my time on that site. It bogs down my internet too bad! But, that's how the world turns -- there's advertising in magazines, on TV, along the roadways, and most everywhere else.

EXACTLY!! FaceBook or any other social media is an easy target because SO MUCH info is all in one place, but just because you are not on FaceBook does not mean you are safe. If you are connected to the world wide web in any shape or form, your information is out there and can be gleaned by anyone.
 
The news report said Zuckerberg's wealth increase due to stock price jump following his apology to Congress was in excess of $3B.
 
(quoted from post at 06:48:41 04/11/18) Is there a way to even sign off that site?
Click to expand...

First, I've been on Facebook enough times that I can count them on one hand. However, there have been times when I'd want to check out a company but find that they ONLY have a Facebook page; no website at all! I made myself a VERY generic Facebook page and signed up. I was AMAZED at how intrusive that mess is!!

There have also been a couple of times when someone would post info that they found on Facebook, but I couldn't view that info without logging into there first. So the only times I ever log in is if there's something I want to see, but that info doesn't exist outside of Facebook.

I have signed out, and my PC stays that way. So yes, it IS possible to log out of Facebook and stay logged out. Same thing with Google. Now that YouTube (and many other sites) is owned by Google, if you're logged into one site, you're logged into ALL of them! I don't like that! Sometimes I go to YouTube to watch an unusual video - not something I want to view more of in the future! If I'm logged into Youtube or Google, then it becomes very difficult to get similar "Suggested Videos" like that from popping up every time I go back there.

It's a headache sometimes, but is worth the effort (to me) to log out and stay logged out of everything all the time. I can stay logged into YT and a couple of other sites, as these are respectable sites.

Anyway, my PC stays logged out of Facebook without any problems. If your wife's tablet keeps logging in, I suspect she has allowed the browser (or Facebook, itself) to keep her logged in.
 
I have no use for the foolishness that goes with social media. That goes for ALL of them. What kind of idiot posts pictures of their home and family, lists their likes and dislikes, gives out personal information, and then complains because it is not kept "secure" so to speak???

There are folks that go onto FB to post what they had for breakfast, what kind of mood they are in, and a host of other nonsense. Even the names of some of these sites must have been picked by a first grade class.

Personally, I do not respond to advertising that is "force fed" to me. Too many outfits are trying to sell me things that I do not want, do not need, and will never buy. No matter how much they harass and annoy me.
 
Farcebook monitors locations of people who have it on their smart phone. My wife and I went to a store located just behind a local Kroger. While she was inside, I was on her tablet playing games. It kept popping up adds for the Kroger store right behind me.

Oh yea.

It is the book "1984".

Instead of the govt installing computer monitors in our houses, we are happily paying to have it done to us, and we click on any 'agreement' that appears on the screen to be able to play the next exploding block game.....

We are no longer concerned about personal security or privacy. Those fpdays are gone.

When this site underwent some changes a long, long time ago the agreement we agreed to here (you all noticed we did that to type here, right?) had kind of overwhelming language to it. I mentioned that to Kim, and it was actually changed a bit at the time.

But, no one speaks up, just want conviemence and free, click click click.....

Some in the swamp are suggesting we need the Americans For Security Act( AFSA )passed to protect our personal info and keep it private and away from public view. This would put an army of gubbermint bureaucrats in place to regulate our information security. That way those of us not on facebook can pay for security of those that are on it. The number to call to get this army rolling is BR-549.
 
Nothing wrong with Facebook - it's the idiot users who are to blame. Why would anyone lay out their personal details (or at least any kind of ACCURATE version of them!) for the world to see? Enjoy Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends worldwide, but don't tell it anything true about yourself, don't tell it where you've been, where you are, where you live, turn off the location tracking on your phone, use a VPN on your internet connection whenever you can. If I look at where I have allegedly logged into Facebook from, it's mostly places all over the world I have never been! Play the bu**ers at their own game! Fake information! Jim
 
I've said that for a long time in relation to smart phones. Can you imagine the push back if they had originated with the government saying that you have to have one of those cumbersome things with you at all times so you can be tracked and reached any time of the day or night?
 
What has to be done to log out permanently then? That tablet shouldn't be that slow. I got my first computer in 1991 and it was 100 times faster than that thing is. Like I said,I've laid it to having FB running all the time on it. Maybe it's just junk,I don't know.
 
I could no longer stand all of the personal attacks not on me but just what I saw on that stupid Facebook people calling other people they don?t even know stupid mother f***rs over the stupidest things . There is some neat stuff on there but it just isn?t worth it
 
Never saw any name-calling that ugly here at YT, but there have been times when the name-calling has been STRONGLY negative, let's not fool ourselves that it hasn't happened ..... and often over some pretty minor opinions that have been expressed by loyal members. Right here on this thread, can we really justify calling someone an idiot or a low-life because they post on or use Facebook? Speaking of that, sometimes I am surprised that a number of YT'ers post family photos here on Tractor Talk, especially young grandkids. You know well what some individuals can do with pictures on the web. I sometimes wonder if the parents would think if they knew that was happening.
 
Agreed. The word used on MSM is "improperly accessed". There was nothing "improper" about it. Facebook sold access and that access was used. The funny thing is the "biggest" Black Lives Matters facebook account that had used facebook to raise over $100K turned out to be some white guy in Australia.
 
Only if you allow it to. Turn off location tracking on your phone, and connect to the internet via a VPN running on your phone (or computer), Facebook then has no idea where you are! Be internet savvy! Jim
 
I think it's all funny. A few Years ago I would try to clear all Facebook pop-up ads. I would click on "Not intrested" and the ads would go away. After a couple of days I noticed the ads that were before aimed at an old white guy were now ads aimed at an old black guy. I got a kick out of that.
 
If anybody read the fine print before clicking "I agree" they would know they consented to this when signing up. No one forces you to use any of these services.

I live in a small town. The ladies at church coffee hour know more about me than I do.

If you turn "location" off, that will not happen. The only time you need location turned on is when you are using maps.

rustyfarmall is 100% correct.
 
No insult intended to fellow members - present company is always excepted in remarks! Indeed, I am a regular facebook user myself, but what IS surely idiotic in this day and age is putting, as millions seem to do, accurate personal information out there into what is in effect the public domain! Think first where it may go! Plenty ways to use Facebook and keep your real personal information hidden. Jim
 
Never had the desire to participate in any of the "social media" choices. Also, I am quick to notify any advertiser that asking me to interact with them via using any of them can be calculated as a lost sale.
 
Tin Man ...... so if you are doing some tire shopping on the web and then later get a pop up banner for Michelin Tires, who do you contact? Hopefully, not the guy three blocks away that owns a tire shop and sells Michelin tires. That's not his fault. So maybe the president or CEO of Michelin? I just don't understand what a guy would do in that case.
 
Just the other day somebody was talking about shooting somebody in the head on here and somebody else was holding somebody?s head under water all from political comments that should never be made in the first place if you read the site rules every time you make a post it?s gone so far now the site owner would have to pretty much block every one of us in order for it to stop.
 
And really SV ...... if you look at Tractor Talk over the last month and deleted every post that was off-topic, the remaining posts would be pretty boring for the most part for most of us. Or say, even eliminated the whole Tractor Talk forum altogether. Every tractor-related post here on Tractor Talk could be posted somewhere else here on one of the brand-specific forums. The site traffic would slow to a crawl, the YT website people know it and they'd be in trouble I think. I venture to guess that 95% of the people who visit YT come to the Tractor Talk forum first, and it's not to read about somebody's problem with his 8N or the clutch on his John Deere D.
 
The ot posts are not the problem . It?s the political posts that are banned. But they wouldn?t have anybody left including me if they blocked everybody that broke that rule
a264612.jpg
 
Speaking for myself, it's always been that when I opened YT, it just came to Tractor Talk page first. I suppose I could change that by adjusting the URL in my link, but.....nah, I'll keep it like it is. :mrgreen:
 
I'm on facebook..If you click on my profile you will find out very little about me except for my birth date..I have no pictures of me and where I live....I make no posts about what I ate for breakfast....I don't do the friends thing on there...Sorry,guys but several that post on here have tried to friend me but I just don't do it.....As far as getting tracked you are probably being tracked at almost every place that you go..

I'm on facebook for the numerous old tractor and tractor pulling sites-etc...They are all very active..I also post lots of pictures on Forgotten Kansas and Forgotten MO,-etc...MLB did away with all baseball forums so I'm on a KC Royals facebook forum...I post the same pictures and say the same things on these places as I do on here..Its all on how you use it..
 
This is just another political BS feal good action. Everyone of them has known for years and even they have used that information. Anyone who is on those sites just freely gives up all of their information. What really surprised me last year, I sent a photo of a lawn cart to my neighbor in a text message. Was doing a google search about two weeks later about Wheel Horse equipment, THERE is my picture!! Don't ever think Big Brother isn't watching you.
 
The way I understand it, it's the "likes" that they are most interested in. If you "like" something on facebook, and turn out to be gullible, they are even more interested in you. You'll be more apt to pass along some fake news to all of your "friends", a percentage of whom will also be gullible, and who will then pass it along to all of their "friends" too, and on and on and on. Because the gullible "friends" receive this fake news from their gullible "friends", it automatically lends a false creditability to the story. A lie has wings.
 
Facebook is communist. They don't like the first amendment of free speech. They censure right wing speech. For instance if you say abooortion is murrrder. Kinda like here. This post might disappear or not even post. I wonder how many conservatives have been kicked off this site. George Orwell was right about his book 1984. Some of my words are spelled funny to get thru the politicalll correct filters.
 
Don't flatter yourself RPL, things would have to get pretty ugly "here" for a post to get deleted. Look back over the last month or two and see how much stuff is way over the line with regards to forum guidelines and policies and posting rules. Sometimes I think they almost welcome politically incorrect posts and comments, otherwise how could anyone explain them being left up? Unless someone is sleeping on the job, I think it's just a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
 
I don't know. I have an account but haven't been there in many years. All I know is something was wrong this morning. They were installing tracking cookies or something. I tried to just close the page and couldn't so to maybe prevent them from installing a virus on my computer I just turned the power off.
 
It could be the moderator didn't see it. I'm a moderator on another forum and you can't read every single post. It's often only when someone reports an infraction you do something about it.
 
external_link got personal Facebook information during the 2012 election. Even used the same Cambridge Analytical to do it. No fuss back then. I?m fact external_link was praised for bringing campaigning into the 21st century. What a difference a few years and different political party in the White House makes.
 
The idea that facebook is communist is a little off. Facebook is a completely capitalist effort, make all the money you can no matter about ethics. And it does seem like the old communist argument is a little outdated. At least when they get it all wrong they should say socialist or abundant or anti-fascist.
 
I have been there, done that, and frightening part was it took a year to delete my account. They would say wait 14 days. AND 14 more. I don't know if I am off there now, but it has been some 2 years. Not for me.
 
Interesting banter on this one, I use FB but have been looking at a site called weme, kinda like FB but not as intrusive.

I say bull to anyone who says their Facebook info was stolen or compromised. As a wise man said, those users are there in the first place because they are shouting to the whole world, "hey, LOOK AT ME!" They are not there looking for a private line of communications. :roll:
 
Many folks got into it for friendship. I am not sure why anyone at this time would believe that capitalists, not communists, would not take advantage of them.
 
I had that problem, sometimes I feel like folks on here would enjoy that also, hopefully we can all agree to disagree without contempt.

For many folks, they spend LOTS of time posting this and that without any blowback of ANY kind. So, they get complacent and start feeling like everything they say and do is all nice and secure and such. Then when something happens and they find their info wasn't kept confidential, they get all upset and throwing blame around.

Well, not this cat! I've posted semi-private details about me on here, but nothing that I'm worried about. I share it among friends here. But if the info I post ever gets out, it's nothing that's gonna hurt me.

We're adults here. Many on Facebook and other sites are kids -- mere children. Most of them haven't been slapped upside the face with a good dose of reality yet. Boy, do they have a rude awakening waiting for them! *lol*

The company collects data on people's online habits regardless of whether they are users. It pays third-party websites and mobile apps to let it place "cookies" and invisible pixels ? as well as "like" and "share" buttons ? on them. These identify non-users and report back to Facebook on people's surfing habits.
 
Actually FB didn't given them anything, they charged these companies for the access to your information. Then they acted shocked when someone else sub contracted out their access.
 
external_link got personal Facebook information during the 2012 election. Even used the same Cambridge Analytical to do it. No fuss back then. I?m fact external_link was praised for bringing campaigning into the 21st century. What a difference a few years and different political party in the White House makes.
