i wish that people would quit using 'just videos' as posts. it is really unfair to people with dialup connections.
most rural dwellers in canada have dialup and you tube and the like are not accessible.
does everyone else in the world have high speed?

it is a common topic among canadian country people that we are not able to properly access the internet due to our slow connections.
rural canada and the north still have dialup.

Hi there PaganFreak


The topic is the rights claimed by facebook to harvest your private info and do with it what they will "in perpetuum (sp). It's about their link to the CIA and basically, it's an eye opener.

The thing with facebook is that it is constructed in such a way that the human quirk of wanting to stay in touch with friend and families such that you build a profile, add links etc etc on facebook and for military and covert ops to put the pieces together is all too simple.

At first I also put a bunch of pics up on there and felt really uneasy about it then took everything down. I also use a pseudonym on facebook, but as we all know, it is all too easy for anyone to link the real me to the pseudonym, therefore the best option, as loath as one is to admit it, is to stay off facebook completely.


Thanks for the reminder that there are people out there with dial-up. You have a valid gripe and in future I'll post the bones of the subject as well as the link.

Take care

thanks for the explanation, zedd, and for your kind thoughts.
i keep in touch with many friends, lots of former students, on facebook.
i think that the only thing they could find out, about me there, is that i'm a potsmoker. heck, everybody knows that anyways.

if i'm on lists 'to be watched', and i may well be, it's probably because i moderate a forum for queer anarchists and belong to whacko forums like avalon and astrovera. gosh, i hope nobody gets upset by that. i mean whacko in the nicest way. heck, i'm a self-proclaimed whacko myself.
peace, patrick

What if they are mining all this data on us, so they can recreate our personality and place it in an android body to slowly replace us all???

ZOMG

I have a profile but I really don't care what happens. If they want to use my information to try and sell me junk I don't need, I just recycle whatever **** ends up in my mailbox or delete it outright.

If the day comes, I'll just delete my profile.
