Assange: Facebook the "most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented"

Well Dude with 804 posts on THIS SITE ALONE you sound pretty close to the bad guys to me. Yowza.

 

So how do we know hipforums is not a CIA spy machine?

 

Good thing I stopped using facebook long ago.
Assange is the freest man in the world right now.

 

Doesn't matter. Facebook stores everything in their database. You can't delete your account once you've made it. You can deactivate it but all you have to do to restore your information is log back in. Any information that you've ever entered into facebook will always be there and will be accessible to certain parties.

 

You can delete it. Deactivating it is different.

omg thats a shitload of posts. someone needs a life!!!

look, 7.65, just cuz you can't centralize your ideas in one locatione doesn't mean dude111 shouldnt.

 

Convenient way for health information to be tracked... encourage people to divulge and help Uncle Sam create medical profiles on them... the insolvent US is getting itself into the health care biz... and it needs to know which drug to deny coverage for.

 

Because most people are only innocent for a matter of time. Everyone breaks the law at some point in their life.

 

Another possible reason to compile medical profile is DEA surveillance... presuming that specific prescriptions tend to correlate with specific illegal drug use and identifying which people will lead them to bigger quarry in the war on freedom or drugs (can't remember which).

There seems to be a wealth of possibilities for surveillance options in utilizing data gathered... a bit parallel to supermarkets sharing dietary data gathered from scan cards and sharing that with HMOs.

 

They already have 100s of pages just for that..and other related things...

 

I have read somewhere before that when people are convicted over the internet, they usually try to argue in their defense about security issues. But then the prosecutors will say "on the internet there is not a gaurantee of complete ptivacy for anyone." Yeah, remember all those terms and agreements you skipped through for that new program or add-on? Bingo.

 

A.K.A Without their parents receiving some sort of paycheck for having their child's mug on some page.

I'm sure the parents will be paid and this will go away within days.

 

I do have a face book account because it's the only way I can attract my children's attention! Not that I want to very often but sometimes it's important that I speak with them! It does worry me how much personal info some people are quite prepared to share. My contribution is usually limited to "do you never read your fucking E-mail?" and "are you free for messenger this Sunday?"

 

Thanks for that!

 

It's okay. The American people are okay with things like this going on right in front of them. Its like some kind of weird political public dominance the CIA needs to show, flexing its muscles so to speak.

They are aware that if a said 'Revolution' was to occur, it would likely be over the internet. Face book is quite convenient in the methods you can use to contact people, stay in touch with them and organize. Its too easy...that's why I never joined anything like that.

The fact that people can be aware that its funded by the CIA and still keep on with it disgusts me. The passive disconnection with our rights due to security purposes needs to stop. I'm tired of it. Think about how USEFUL face book would be if it wasn't in their hands.
