Facebook RIPS off your veil of privacy, declares NO MORE HIDING
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on October 11, 2013 Zuck it up - now anyone can find you. By Jack Clark - The Register Facebook is binning a feature that lets people retain their anonymity on the social network. The retirement of the "Who can look up your Timeline by name?" privacy setting was announced by the company on Thursday. It means anyone can find the profile of someone else through the search bar. People used to be able to make themselves disappear from the search functions built into the site, and hide their presence on the network to strangers by modifying the setting. Facebook had removed the feature for everyone that hadn't turned it on late last year, and now is erasing it for those who opted in as well. If users are affected by this, Facebook suggests they retain a sense of privacy by carefully choosing "the audience of the individual things you share", according to a blog post by Mark Zuckerberg-led biz. Being careful about what you slap on the site doesn't get rid of the problem that you can now be found on Facebook, mind, whereas before stalkers admirers could look up your name fruitlessly. Now, undesirables can find you and try to friend you, though the information they see on your profile will depend on how much you have shared. As Facebook is a for-profit ad-backed company whose revenue growth depends on its users sharing as much data as possible with one another, the company's main motivation is to eradicate user privacy over time. The removal of this search setting goes hand-in-hand with the global roll out of Graph Search, which makes it more complicated than ever before for a user to keep their interactions on the network hidden from the Eye-of-Sauron-gaze of Zuckerberg & Co. Toward the bottom of its blog post, the social network recommends that privacy-conscious users "share each post with the people you want to be able to see it," and that they use a feature named "Activity Log" to alter the privacy settings on things that have already been shared. It's also possible to plead with "friends and others to remove anything they may have shared about you that you don't want on the site," the company notes – though if they rarely use Facebook we find it hard to see how this could work in a timely manner.

Now to the subject. Facebook waited until everyone got lulled into the convenience of communicating at an extended family & friends gathering, then pulled the rug out. My first wife is in a real dilemma after her privacy setting got pulled. If she deletes her account she loses all that access that she's gotten used to. I guess she could go by an alias that she shares with only family and friends.

ROBERT POWELL you dont need to hide because you a none factor ,you dont run nothing around here ,,your a old jaw jacker mouth ''old'' mighty ,,,your words fall on deaf ears because of you past conduct ,your past performance of chasing young black girls and trying to bully them after you got rejected your over the top comments fall on deaf ears because your useless! So stuck other peoples religion until your the top hypocrite of your own pagan beliefs and you call yourself educated ,,,,hell no,, your a over grown baby crying in every comment ,throwing tantrums because you cant get a response from the member, case in point just today you posted this comment on a members post ---''you and your pagan Christian 'blackWhite' brother are arguing RACIST IGNORANCE against Truthful History, Scholarship and Science ---BOTH of you are arguing EUROPEAN paganChristian thoughts with euroDEFINITIONS Ibraheem(as) DID NOT START Judaism or AlIslaam Ibraheem(as) was a Prophet of the Creator of Adaam(as) and HE FOLLOWED the Monotheisitic Belief of Allaah................ Understand something about History, Scholarship and Science in 2013 Ask any jew or Muslim..... ' here is another comment you just made today ,,, my Reading of Dr. Reginald Goodwin and his Scientific Posts has always been ENRICHING ----but I believe he carries the same Administrator Reggie Culpepper Trait of not finding the time or respect to comment on Questions.............. Friday, October 18th 2013 at 10:03AM powell robert see we dont need people like you around here your just taking up space ,,,your post /blogs are about the same thing as Yacob jakes absolutely nothing ! Robert Powell you threaten me in the past and when I invite you to visit my home free of charge to go on a hunting trip you want to cry again like a over grown baby ,,,the invitation still stands ! Lastly It is always interesting to watch an ignorant man attempt to protect the ignorance that sustains him. Of course, he never launches an attack on his own ignorance, but rather, he exposes himself even further by attacking the wisdom and knowledge of others. The attacks of a silly man who does nothing but attempt to reinforce the stereotypes that have controlled him. YOUR IGNORANCE HAS YOU PERPLEXED ,DAVID JOHNSON O 3 11 Usmc unit 164 knight rider has complete control over you because you cant handle the truth ! you bum ! lmbao Friday, October 18th 2013 at 11:08AM |
