Post by: zack1234 on November 09, 2015, 02:21:25 PM
Facebook has been told it cannot track people who are not on Facebook in Belgium :old:

They are going to contest the decision, are these people deluded and think its acceptable to track anyone it choose's

In 20 years time your going to be arrested for not being on Facebook.

How many stools i have a day is my business and i refuse to put my daily bowel movements on facebook

You all jump about North Korea when this is happening

Feminism is to blame :old:

How hard can it be to turn off location services on your phone...

Facebook (and other services) can turn on the location services long enough to get a location, whenever they want.  If you think you can stop that, you are fooling yourself.

I run Cyanogen OS on my android. I can force the location service off, and limit any usage on a per-app basis. I hear android 6.0 can do the same stock.

App permissions are OS regulated. An app must request access to a system service from the OS.

Dear Zack, I like to make how many stools I have a day EVERYBODY'S business. In fact, I just put a nice pic of a big glistening brown growler up on Facebook for everyone's enjoyment. I'll send you a link so that you can enjoy it too. You'll note that it defied flushing, even though it was appropriately deposited in what I like to call a "proud flusher", aka, a Commercial Toilet.

Jeff Zuckerberg sends me personal notes commending me and says that's why he started facebook in the first place. All I know is that i'm completely expulsive and thus like the idea of holding the golden brown majesty up for all to behold in terror.

Check out this baby, Zuck! You'll never even be able to come close to this one's gurgling majesty! Behold and know fear!

You are assuming the hardware has a protected mode feature set.  Software permissions are easily circumvented without hardware protected mode.  Does the smart phone have a CPU which supports hardware protected mode?  Does the OS support it?

For instance, Windows applications can talk to any hardware, directly.  They can access any memory space, including other applications memory space as well.  I was under the impression smart phones lacked hardware memory protection which requires the operating system to run in protected mode in order to take advantage of such hardware.

Oh I'm sure it can be hacked and circumvented by malicious software one way or another, but not by Facebook Messenger or any other major app provider who would suffer dire consequences if and when someone inevitably found them out.

Did any of you numpties bother to google the article?

Quote
Facebook tracks the web browsing of everyone who visits a page on its site even if the user does not have an account or has explicitly opted out of tracking in the EU, extensive research commissioned by the Belgian data protection agency has revealed.

They are talking about using cookies in your browser to track what websites you visit. Not GPS tracking.

It is not just facebook tracking you, but many other sites as well. In typical day of browsing I usually block 200-400 trackers (blocked at my firewall). This is not cookies but attempts to hit their sites, and excludes SSL traffic (I don't currently decrypt) so may only account for around 70-80% of trackers.

You gotta love how so many people are scared of their privacy and security, yet they are willing to post their whole life on FB. I bet if the government made the same website people would go Batchit crazy about the government stealing their right to privacy, but FB is going to change cyber security and change the way we look at people and even our own friends. People wont be able to hide as easily anymore. Your next boss is going to look on facebook and realize you have crazy thoughts, or crazy behavior, and you wont get hired. You will be monitored by our government and can potentially raise flags by writing terroristic threats. People are so concerned with everyone else, they don't even know what they, themselves, are doing. I find some of the most ignorant idiotic arrogant posts on FB that do nothing but cause fear and chaos and people eat it up and spew even more garbage to the public. Facebook is toxic and it will infringe on peoples rights to privacy at all cost.

So glad I (deactivated) my account. If anything, all they will be able to find are pictures of my college years with tons of hot babes and a few sporadic post . When I realized that my thoughts were deep/philosophical/not happy, and go against the political correctness of our society, religion, and government, while hurting "friends" or acquaintances because they post the most idiotic BS, I realized it was time to get off Facebook for good. It has made my life much happier and I am glad people don't spy on my life anymore.

Just today I cleaned a lady's inbox: roughly 1500 facebook messages went to the trash bin. Plus she wanted to learn how to snip and save pieces of discussions with her ex-daughter-in-law-candidate for evidence in case something would happen to her son. The Bald and Beautyfools is nursery rhymes compared to FB...

Sounds like a real soap opera. Back in the day, it was The Young and the Breastless, Ryan's Mope, and Ball my Children. Nowadays, that stuff is just real life, I guess.

My only regret: not enough drunken vomiting for effect. Just not enough... I mean, sure, there was some of that and much of it was pretty good; Dave cutting loose after 8x8's of Lowenbrau shorties at the Bear-Jets game (the crowd went wild when they saw it, and the stream was EPIC). Me hanging my head out the window on the freeway, all to the squealing delight of the other roadgoers who got to see the resulting 80 mph puke streamer that quickly formed a racing stripe down the side of the car, my vengeance vomit on the stern of TeVega for the appreciative crowd in Fontvielle harbor, practically (a little south, if you're familiar) right in front of the damn Lowes Monte, meow, meow, fuhgodsake (no lie)... But, it's like they say. You sit thinking of those things you did and shouldn't have and you're grinning like an outhouse rat. You sit thinking of the things you DIDN'T do and you're frowning.

Facebook refuses to remove a photograph off its site.

The mother has been told nothing can be done.

My only regret: I wish I'd saved that post where I described your hyphenated term in 5 other, far more colorful, ways.

Sadly, Skuzzy doesn't keep rule 6 posts. Skuzzy don't play dat.
