Facebook's Privacy Policy is History - Comments Page 2

I use Facebook rarely, mainly to reply to messages. I remember Scott McNealy, a founder of Sun Microsystems, saying many years ago that we no longer had expectations of privacy and to get over it. I don't know that I have gotten over it but I do know that everything about me is in some data base and there's not much I can do about it.

The only reason I remain on Facebook is to follow my niece's softball games. They have a website but it is never up-to-date. Other than that, I would have pitched FB long ago.

What hasn't been addressed beyond these privacy issues is, in my opinion, Facebook's use of psychological testing and crowd manipulation, but that is an issue for another day. The bottom line is that the privacy problem is only one of other just plain creepy practices of these social media outlets. And no, I'm not paranoid, just someone in the psych field who has been observing Facebook for quite some time.

As soon as I got a SS# they had me. I love FB for allowing me to regain and maintain contact with people I had lost they time. Had a computer since they got small enough to fit a desk. The Banks,CU, Credit reporters ect have always had your data. Don’t put anything on any device you don’t want the world to know. If someone steals your ID the banks and gov. Should prosecute. Tks

Bob, have you looked into WeMe.com? I signed up with them, but haven't used the site much because my family and friends are on Facebook. I keep thinking they could be as good as they say they are: "facebook" without the hassles or weirdness.
