More Facebook Bullshit!

Agencies are paid to find that out. Very efficiently I might add.

 

Being as FB is mostly a CIA utility for profiling, I think any notions of there being any amount of true privacy on there is a bit naive.

Personally, I see it as more of a direct opportunity to get my voice in their ear than anything else, but then again, I'm not growing anything I shouldn't or making any weird extracts for them to be concerned with. So really, not too concerned if they get to sample my skills at writing Porn scripts to whatever woman I'm chatting up a.t.m. Not like I have any plans of running for office anyhow.

 

I don't use facebook, but I have an account and I'm too lazy to deactivate it. I haven't logged into it in well over two months, and I'd have to think long and hard on my what my password even is. My name doesn't include my last name and I used a fake email address.

 

there's such things as a real email address..?

The internet was better when everyone was fake.. now people take shit personally over some electronic words...

lick these nuts..

 

this kinda shit really sets me over the edge man!! wtf does it matter? If you are qualified for the job and are a dependable employee and etc.. you personal life shouldn't effect it in any way!!! That is why it is called personal

 

Pretty much hit the nail on the head, and it is so depressing...

 

I know my boss searched a potential employer on fb... He got the job. I don't agree with this password crap, but if your profile is available to everyone then I don't see a problem with taking it into account when getting new staff. I work in hospitality, mind you, so it's a bit different for someone who has to go through all that drug alcohol testing shit... We're probably a bit lenient with posts such as "I'M FUCKED UP AGAIN" haha

 

The sad thing is people actually comply to these requests of information.

 

How could they get away with that

 

The internet already knows everything about me and tells it all to the government and corporations

This is only a mild annoyance as I am not a criminal and they are not going to get me to buy their useless consumer products no matter how much they study me

But fucking with my chance to earn a living? That violates me where I live...

 

You are right...but also if a person does NOT consent (which he/she has a perfect legal right to refuse) they are judged on that!

ALSO - if you always tell every thing on facebbook, you are an idiot and I guess deserve whatever comes your foolish way. It is becoming more and more public and associated with public venues - in your real name. (lol) So, like I say...when something is in Your Own Name to the point you "talk" with relatives, friends, co-workers, etc, you WATCH WHAT YOU SAY or you are so stupid, I can't even say anything else. lol

Of COURSE prospective employers and probably parole officers frequent fb. Even my dumbass knows that. :mickey:

 

That would almost be worth starting up a whole nother account, using initials, just a little something different, but NO LIEING. Dear God - they might get out the torches, then.

It is bad that these schools and employers are really able to get into your private stuff...but it is the truth, and like burying one's head in the sand to think otherwise. :sultan:

 

Not so. Google "delete Facebook" and the link is right there on the first page of search. It's not difficult to do and it does work, I deleted my first Facebook years ago.

 

Ha I didn't think you could delete it either. AWESOME But nothing on the internet is every actually deleted.

 

quotable

 

I agree. If I posted anything on Facebook, I would be just as careful as I would be with what I put on a job application form, or might say on a TV or radio talk show. I know how to play the game of throwing out a few semi-meaningless comments that employers like to hear.

But I don't know what I would do if I was still in college. Your friends on campus would expect (probably demand) to be your Facebook friends too, and some of them would be tagging you in their pictures taken at drunken parties. And with face recognition technology, you can now be found in pictures where you are not tagged!!! :willy_nilly:

On TV recently, someone introduced as an expert on corporate hiring was recommending that the college students of today never show their faces at a wild party or get drunk or high anywhere that a camera or cell phone might be used without your permission! And she said you should limit your real-life friends to people who aren't into anything controversial. To me, that sounded about the same as saying you have to live your entire life as if you are on a job interview all the time.

This is like the ultimate form of slavery. The term "corporate zombie" doesn't do it justice, because you're expected to act like you like all this. Zombies don't have to smile.

God damn, I'd hate to be looking for a job right now.

Eventually, job seekers will rebel at all this bullshit, but it won't happen until the job market gets a lot tighter. Employers are holding all the cards right now.

 

I go to school online so I think I'm in the clear on that one, lol. And really I don't post shit that I don't want others to see. I mostly just say hello and play Castleville I used to play potfarm but I got paranoid and deleted it....and it was getting really boring, lol.

Kinky, thank you for that I found the delete page....it's a miracle lmao.

 

You nailed it Karen.

ZW

 

Yeah I agree with you on that Karen. This is exactly why I'm going to college for music production. When I graduate I will have everything I need to start my buisness from home, fuck having some asshole breathing down my neck all day, I can't work and be creative that way. I already have some clients lined up and some guinea pigs to practice recording on

 

I cry "bullshit" on this one - any company that would not employ a person because they didn't have a facebook account is not a company you would want to work for any way. It makes no sense to discriminate against a person for not having a facebook account. It's a gigantic fucking waste of time and money for companies - I've seen that first hand working in an office environment. I personally know of several business that block access to facebook from their employees on their networks - and justifiably so - this was undoubtedly one of the reasons for the development of internet phones. I can foresee a day, very soon, when cell phone jamming devices will become legal and common place in office spaces.

If anyone gives up their privacy rights by willingly handing over an account password to a business - they deserve to live like a slave under the corporatocracy. In my mind it's the same as giving permission to your employer to go to your mailbox every day and read your snail mail, to go through your cell phone and read all your text messages and voicemails, and to have access to your bank account. It's no different. This is another step towards mercantile fascism.

Imagine a world where the CEO of corporation, or a board of directors, governs over you - not a democratically appointed government. This is the direction we're heading - this fabricated economic recession is nothing more than extortion, a power grab by all too wealthy and powerful privateers. The job shortage is an artifice, it's the elites flexing their muscles and our governments are bowing to it, selling us out and ushering us into a new kind of mercantile feudalism.
