    Welcome to the good fight.
    I find treating facebook users like their idiots works really well to make them
    quit.

    It gets much worst.
    Google will allow you to create "pro-rape" pages. Whereas posting a picture
    of cleavage will get you banned.

    As already mentioned, the only way one can begin to conceal their identity is to take their own measures to block scripts, cookies, constantly change ips, use fake mac addresses, encrypt all the data so your ISP can't see, etc. And even with your data encrypted you still have to trust who ever is decrypting it on the other end to not be a govt. spy server lol

    If you were scared of facebook tracking you, take a look at this
    http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
    and thats just the more legit ones, good luck spotting out the really shady ones.

    Well facebook does have one up on them because they know about how johnny's looking for someone to adopt the cat he saved, and that lucy is single now, but if you ask me someone is getting screwed if they are paying for that information. And someone is just stupid if they post anything more private than that on the internet without taking the steps to conceal their identity.

    See the thing is, its not just facebook, its not even just the internet. We know the government has most of the phone lines and towers in the world on tap, and we know they have voice recognition technology, we know they buy memory banks from ibm that are 1000's of terabytes in size... now 1+1+1= oh shit you better not use the telephone for your social life either. Advertising based cookies are one of the smaller threats to your privacy, if the government wants to track you, they have much better weapons than facebook >.>

    ^This stuff is decades old, since we know this was sold to china like 10 years ago, what do you think the US government has access to now? o_O

    I use facebook. And it does freak me out that this is going on. I guess the best thing I can do is be aware that its happening.

    the sad part is my friends would think I died if I didn't have a Facebook. A friend bitched me out the other day because she invited everyone to her birthday party through facebook. I didnt get it and never showed to her party. What happened to the formal invite?
    thats bullcrap.

    Some friend. That is a bunch of bullcrap. Facebook is a good tool for creating events, but if not the invite card, she still could have called you or told you.

    Actual friends mean everything to me, but 99% of my Facebook so-called "friends" list aren't people that actually know me. Well, they remember me from school, but it's more like they know of me rather than actually cared to be real friends.

    Besides, some people I've tried messaging and they won't even respond. It's like, then why did you send me a friend request?

    I know who my real friends are.

    Fassholebook is about as effective for creating events as Myspace bands
    were for getting people to come to their concerts.

    Just like there's nothing viral in viral videos as most of them are "paid" to
    go viral.

    97% of Fassholebook's big events have equally been paid and sponsored by
    various business.

    So I took a leap and I deactivated my account on Facebook. Which Its pretty messed up that you cant just delete the whole thing from facebook. You have to download a program to get rid of it.
    Oh not to mention they make it really hard to find the button to deactivate....the link is super tiny.
    Fuck Facebook! I guess I can find new anti-facebook friends....then maybe they would actually call me when they wanted to see me.

    My friends aren't necessarily anti-Facebook. I still use it and so do they, but they're not so ridiculous to post something on Facebook and get mad at me for not knowing. I expect them to tell me if something big is going on instead of using Facebook alone.

    Plus, we're still the type of people that can talk about Facebook use being ridiculous. Personally, I think the world would be better off without it. It's not revolutionary, it's devolutionary.

    To think that just because of one person-Mark Zuckerberg. Of course he didn't create it alone, but if it wasn't for him, Facebook wouldn't have happened like it did.

    And you know what ?
    If I met you in a bar and you told me you have a Facebook account.
    I would politely say I don't want to talk to you anymore or associate with
    you.

    In the same way I would not trust or allow in my home a person that would
    gossip about me. I will not trust someone on facebook.

    You might not be a evil but you're in bed with the
    Mother-Of-All-Information-Whores.

    And that represents a threat to my private life and personal safety.

    Facebook is a social disease and when someone climbs in bed with
    the biggest filthiest **** on the net. They should NOT expect to be my
    friend. Not in the virutal world and certainly not in the real world.

    The website cited is run by Alex Jones ... I wouldn't doubt the information but I tend to hunt for other collaborating sources and quote them instead. I could certainly chime into the anti-fb sentiment but am inclined to consider that people really need to show a bit more restraint in how they put themselves "out there" and what information they are giving to third parties.

    It seems pretty obvious that FB is a useful tool for tracking a large number of people as that info is valuable to marketers and surveillance agencies but I can't imagine they're the only ones. My sense is that if you have a FB account the best thing is to log out and clear cookies and never return... I do wonder if the act of deleting your account raises a flag analogous to turning and running when you make eye contact with a cop- whether or not you've actually done anything. Chances are pretty good there's another "tail" on your identity that could promptly be employed upon the deletion of FB if you're the subject of scrutiny for whatever reason.

    your entire profile. The only option is to deactivate it. And they are sure to let you know that its still sitting there in case you ever want to go back.

    Unfortunately this kind of mind set is what helps to empower them... "I've got nothing to hide so it's okay" It's not okay. It's an invasion of privacy. Establish a level of surveillance on the premise that it's harmless because no one has anything to hide and the proverbial foot is in the door to expand the intrusion every time a crisis arises that creates a need for security. Plenty of folks who think they have nothing to hide find themselves on watch lists simply because they belong to a particular political sub division or because of some other presumably harmless tidbit they share about themselves.

    I wonder if so-called radical candidates aren't contrived to have folks who present a threat to the status quo make themselves known- through various means including social media.... by enlisting in groups that support the so-called "reformer" and otherwise sounding off against the oligarchs repeating phrases and talking points that emerge as the candidates rhetoric... that are searchable.
