    any smart person knows not to buy watched materials online or in large quantities. one thing you have to realize is that google determines many things about its users through the use of algorithms. google and facebook are both big corporations which are directly connected to the cia. i'll let you make your own implications.

    Facebook and Google would likely not report anything regarding the purchase of 'materials for a bomb' - it is more likely the sellers of such material have to report the sale of such material as a matter of course.
    It would be the same as purchasing a firearm online.
    You are not going to be likely to be able to buy a firearm with out that being reported to somebody.
    Unless that is you are buying it on the 'black market'.

    You should notice other activities that supposedly had cops show up in an uncomfortably short amount of time - can't be validated as actually occurring.

    Have you any evidence for that?

    I never said the guy was smart. :biggrinjester:
    The fact that they want you to link your cell phone (an item which I do not intend to own) to your account should be enough of a giveaway. Sometimes they almost force it. Once you do that, the phone automatically fills in a lot of your personal data and includes your location with every status and message/chat.

    So 'watched materials ' using Google / Facebook algorithms is not accurate?

    Agh, that company. Re-read: 'i'll let you make your own implications.' - fair enough.

    According to Edward Snowden they are collecting an enormous amount of information from not just American citizens but any person who even uses facebook, youtube, google or any American based online media..before this information came to light I'm sure I would've been considered paranoid. It's only really a problem if you start disagreeing with the government..then they can trace every comment, every opinion, every questionable porn video, every off the cuff remark you ever posted online and use it as leverage against you to either discredit you or dissuade you from speaking up. Paranoia is just reality on a finer scale and I'd rather be paranoid than passive and complacent..we are living in times where paranoia is a perfectly logical response to the fucked up, invasive, orwellian society we are heading towards

    Forget what the government is accumulating to use against us someday maybe. Ordinary, opinionated people who know you personally will use it against you right now, if they see anything they don't like on your page. It's almost impossible to please everyone who knows your name, unless you are a very talented and skilled liar. Facebook is nothing but a nasty social game that feels like living in a small town, and I have no desire to ever live in a small town culture again. It sucks.

    This is what I did on an old computer. I was foolish enough to make one but quickly realized what it was all about. It's social engineering meant to make the public comfortable with the idea of large amounts of personal data inventoried like that. Add some false flag attacks to the mix and you will have a population so afraid they give away their rights and privacy.
    George Orwell was right the proletariat are dangerous to the elite.

    It's easy to track everything your computer does from a virus you can get from visiting a web site one time. The most common one is probably porn sites, but maybe some anti virus software will get a few. But anything that can be made on a computer can be broken by a computer. You can make a virus that will slip past that software. Facebook is full of those type of viruses and they are engineered to beat the software.

    The CIA have the passwords to the servers for facebook and they share with the other alphabet agency's.

    In America I actually can sadly. I can go to to a gun show and find a person who wants to sell his gun. I can buy that gun from him and have no one know but the two of us. That person may or may not ask questions about what I want the gun for.

    It's legal, but if I buy the gun in the store there is waiting periods and background checks. But people are always selling guns here. It's not hard to get a gun if your the kind of person who should not have a gun.

    i'm way more concerned about data mining by the "private sector" than i am about the gov't.
    B of A, Citi and Walmart all have more intel on their customers than the average govt agency.

    I dunno, it can't do anything that a "real life" friend couldn't do.

    I wish I never made an account. When I was thirteen I made one thinking "This is so cool! I can add whatever I want about myself and talk to all the people I want!", which I'm sure was the attraction to the site for many. Two years later, I read 1984 by George Orwell...and needless to say that account is gone...still makes me uncomfortable that they have all my information and you can't actually remove any of it.

    I recently reinstated my facebook account. (2 or 3 months ago maybe)---thing is, I only have been checking it maybe 2 or 3 times a month and mostly just use it to write and respond to private messages on there...and I really quick scan friends and families news and pics and stuff, maybe make a quick comment or two on a wall.

    But anyways, the only reason I got facebook again (I was really big against it, annoyed by it, etc.-and actually I still am..), was because a few people who either live out of state or out of the country (some of both) were emailing me saying they don't check their email and can't currently text but would I please go back on facebook so they could keep in contact w me? ....that they don't usually even check their email, etc.- so finally I decided I want to talk to those people enough that I am back on there. Kinda, you know...as I don't really post and I certainly don't post personal info on there ... I never have though.... I never liked how, yea, I'm SURE I'm gonna say all kinds of personal/private stuff on a page w a mix of my friends and my family/MOM/etc... don't think so...

    Neways, I am glad I now get to see pics of my cousins kids and my friends kids and stuff that I was missing before, because whether I like it or not (which I don't) facebook is where a lot of people chose to post things and keep in touch w people... so I figured I could be stubborn and miss out, or just go on there occasionally and talk to them...

    neways, if anyone on here actually DOES have a facebook and wants to add me my email on there is casonsmommy123@gmail.com :)

    I don't think it's a Facebook issue. I think it's an internet issue.
