Time to cancel your facebook account immediately

[loveandgratitude]

Are a significant number of people canceling their Facebook accounts because of privacy concerns? The easy answer would be for Facebook to publish cancellation stats. I asked; they declined and gave me growth figures instead. Those growth figures suggest that yes, the privacy issues might be hurting.

HERE A ARE COUPLE OF COMICAL REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD. YOUR PRIVACY IS BEEN INVADED.

People are catching up my friend.

Why not open up more facebook accounts? The more people use their accounts to disinform the people that run it the better I say.

LOL!! I like the way the second video explains it, but the first one is probably a joke ... IMO

Good plan, actually. Let the manipulation go the other way for a change.

[Siegfried The 7]

Hats off to The Onion News Network for that parody. Maybe that will help some people realize whats going on.

The moment I saw news organizations like CNN pushing Facebook and Twitter I knew to stay away or at least proceed with caution.

I watch the news often to make note of the new scams, lies, and illusions that will be unleashed on the public.

Its amazing how easily people fall for the "programming" they put out there. smh

This links to the page that actually deletes the account.

You see, the easy option is to 'disable' the account. If you deactivate your account it disappears but it reappears should you ever log back in. This link explains how, in the terms of service agreement, facebook retains the rights to all of the intellectual property you might have posted. Then the make it easy to 'deactivate' the account, whereby the retain the rights, and they make it more difficult to actually delete the account. But, this link saves the hassle. :)

I think both are parodys. Maybe it is time for someone to start up an alternative FACEBOOK in competition.

I like the guy's style in the second bit, certainly a different way of breaking things down.

Not sure if I'd forward eet to me mum though.:scared:

THANKS PURPLE LAMA - THis is what the link says -

“I managed to deactivate it so it’s deleted right?”.

You would think the answer would be fairly straightforward however I have to admit, it took quite a bit of digging to come up with the answers surrounding account / profile deactivation and full blown account removal from the service. After doing the research and walking through the deceptive complex process, it was very apparent that Facebook has done their very best to prevent its customers from leaving their service thus limiting the amount of customer data being scrubbed from their service.

Personally, I really feel Facebook has definitely crossed the border of unethical behavior on this. After all, they don’t “actually” provide an interface to delete your account and end your agreement with them regarding the use of your personal data per section 2.1 in their terms of service.

Here, let me show you. First I’ll explain Facebook Account Deactivation since this is the only option offered in their User Interface.
Deactivating Your Facebook Account, Is it the same as Account Deletion?

Users can deactivate their Facebook account from the user interface without too much trouble however Facebook will ask you to confirm your decision (more on this) by displaying one of your friends and telling you “Your Friend will miss you”. In my example for instance, I’m pretty sure it took at least a few days for “P-Diddy” to get over losing me as a FaceBook friend

Once you confirm you want to deactivate your account, be sure to: Read the fine print!

The fine print clearly outlines that account “deactivation” is not the same as deleting your account / profile and all your data in the service.

What surprised me was the fact that even after the account was “deactivated”, YOU can still be tagged in photos, invited to events, etc.. With this in mind, be sure to “opt out” of emails if that’s the path you’re going down.

So in short, deactivating your Facebook account is pretty much worthless. It’s Facebook’s deceptive and very smart practice of luring you into a false sense of security by making you think you’ve removed your account, personal data and license to your IP (intellectual property) from the service when actually you haven’t. The unethical part about this is even while your account is deactivated, the license granted to Facebook in section 2.1 of their terms:

Section 2.1 of the Facebook Terms of Service

…you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (“IP License”). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.

is still in affect. Groovy huh? Good news however, all you have to do to “re-activate” your account is log in again and tadaa, everything is right back where you left it as if you never left – pictures, friends, posts etc…

So I think everyone will agree with me in that the Facebook Account / Profile deactivation process is worthless if your goal is to delete your account and remove your data or IP from the service. Seriously.. The “real” good news is there actually IS a way to delete your account and IP!
How to Really Delete Your Facebook Account

Deep in the belly of the Facebook help center you can find the URL to permanently delete your Facebook account.

Before I show you the link however please read the following carefully:

Remember that deleting your Facebook means that all of the information you have entered will be erased. Photos, account friends, messages, status updates etc.. All traces of you will be nuked on Facebook (At least we can assume so…). With that in mind, please move forward reading all large and fine print. :)

Okay so lets get started on permanently deleting your profile.

1. Visit http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account, Click Submit

2. You’ll be asked to confirm, Type in your Password, and then Solve the Captcha. Click Okay to continue.

All done, sort of…

Even after confirming the deletion of your account, Facebook will only “deactivate” it leaving you 14 days to log back in and cancel the entire deletion… um yeah…

facebook deactivation policy

Over the last 12 months, Facebook has seen its share of controversy in regard to account privacy and its terms of service. It’s hard to say what sparked all the excitement: Rapid growth of the service (#3 on the internet overall)? Parents growing awareness of the site and how their kids were using it? The Media? Or perhaps they deserved it based on their unethical business practices, privacy policy and terms of service?

Whatever the reasons, it’s obvious some no longer trust the internet giant as I seem to keep hearing the same question over and over again:

“Is it possible to delete my facebook account?”

and

“I managed to deactivate it so it’s deleted right?”.

You would think the answer would be fairly straightforward however I have to admit, it took quite a bit of digging to come up with the answers surrounding account / profile deactivation and full blown account removal from the service. After doing the research and walking through the deceptive complex process, it was very apparent that Facebook has done their very best to prevent its customers from leaving their service thus limiting the amount of customer data being scrubbed from their service.

Facebook Account Deactivate Confirmation Screenshot

Once you confirm you want to deactivate your account, be sure to: Read the fine print!

The fine print clearly outlines that account “deactivation” is not the same as deleting your account / profile and all your data in the service.

you can reactivate facebook at any time, is this really deactivation?

What surprised me was the fact that even after the account was “deactivated”, YOU can still be tagged in photos, invited to events, etc.. With this in mind, be sure to “opt out” of emails if that’s the path you’re going down.

Even if you deactivate your account you can still be tagged in photos and added to friends lists and groups, and you'll still receive emails.

So in short, deactivating your Facebook account is pretty much worthless. It’s Facebook’s deceptive and very smart practice of luring you into a false sense of security by making you think you’ve removed your account, personal data and license to your IP (intellectual property) from the service when actually you haven’t.

facebook accoun deletion again

All done, sort of…

Even after confirming the deletion of your account, Facebook will only “deactivate” it leaving you 14 days to log back in and cancel the entire deletion… um yeah…

You must wait 14 days after confirming deletion of your Facebook account

I know what you’re thinking… “Really? 14 days to delete my data?”

I completed the scavenger hunt and found the “DELETE” link.
I saw the BIG RED TEXT warning me my account would be permanently deleted.
I entered my password.
I helped translate a book for GOOGLE by solving the Captcha puzzle.
And lastly I clicked the Okay button

What part of “DELETE MY ACCOUNT” don’t you understand Facebook? Perhaps you thought I was joking? Or Drunk? But if that’s the case why the 5 steps above? Yes Regis, that’s my final answer! Delete my account! ;)

Anyway, I think it’s pretty obvious by now Facebook doesn’t really care about you personally, they just don’t want to lose any of YOUR data from their service. Not your employment data, school history, friends, network, photos, your tagged face etc… which they managed to collect from you over the year in their social web. The 14 day grace period is just their last ditch attempt to somehow lure you back into the service somehow (either accidently or from some subconscious facebook addiction) in order to abort the account cancellation process.

With this in mind, here’s a few tips to make sure you don’t “accidently” login to Facebook thus aborting your account nuke process.

Clear your browser cache and delete all cookies – Firefox / Internet Explorer / Secure Wipe w/CCleaner
Delete the Facebook Application on your iPhone (don’t worry, it’s free if you ever want to add it again…)
Avoid clicking the Facebook Share button on any websites you read such as the button below (sorry, couldn’t resist <smile> )
5/5/2010 UPDATE: Reader UXP made a good point in his comment below reminding me that Facebook is also used by many people for single sign on for commenting on blogs or logging into websites (like digg.com for instance). Another example is FacebBook chat clients like Pidgin or Adium. Use these services, post a comment on a blog using FaceBook Connect or login to a site using your FaceBook account during your 14 day waiting period and your FB account will be reactivated. Ouch… that one is gonna hurt if your only Creds on DIGG.com or other sites is your Facebook account…

The CEO, Zuckerberg is not the kind of man you would want to benefit. I believe he holds a deep-seated contempt for the bulk of his client base. Boycotting his product is the only way to stop him and his abuse. Multiple accounts would still benefit him as they provide numbers that increase the value of his slimy product.

As with too many things, facebook is a habit for most people and the connectivity aspect is used as a positive one, even for alternative site owners, to maintain a channel to and for this social cesspool. It is not the members who make it so but, the utility they provide to the CEO and his allies.

Like TV and the MSM, facebook has an important role to play for the PTB, and the owners of these tools are rewarded well. Only the masses of people, acting a "voting bloc" and removing their participation in these blood-sucking endeavors, can cripple these parasitic aspects of our modern lives.

I post these thoughts in earnest.

Thank you, loveandgratitude for the work you put in to enable people to properly sever the tentacles of this squid from their cyber lives. These multiple intrusions and hooks into our computers is ample evidence of how insidious this Facebook is. Just as every possible way to "own" you has been pursued so has every possible way to make your information a monetized commodity, and some of the buyers are 'demons'.

OK. The main mouthpiece for all that is disinfo ( NY Times) promotes this group and we think it is kosher? It may very well be but I would guess that Diaspora is specifically designed to pick up the 'dropoffs' from Facebook and maybe pick up some who never joined. It will all be fed into the same maw sooner or later if not immediately but just more clandestinely.

The NY Times is not a friend of 'the people'. Never has been and never will be. This is not a news story but a promotion of this group, Diaspora. Their promotion by this newspaper gives them a funny smell.

It is easier to avoid bad habits than to quit them.

It's simple. don't join these profiling websites in the first place.

Perhaps some of you missed it, but the person who set up the internal Kafkaesque and 1984 'people spying on the people' (one out of every 6!) network in eastern Germany..that East German secret police head was brought into the US to form the same type of network...by the FBI and the US government. This was about, oh, 10-12 years back.

So yes, the head of the East German Stazi, he was brought to the US and basically put in charge of creating the same fascist/communist (is there a difference? not really!) nightmarish spying and societal control system in the US, under the flag of the FBI.

In case you did not know, the Nazi's never dismantled their spy network and never gave up control or ownership of it, regarding the European Continent.

The Dulles brothers, who ran project paperclip and started the CIA...they, as part of their bargain of bringing back The Fed's (fed bankers and backers) purchase and arrangement of a war in the European continent that engulfed the world (WWII) to the US, the Nazi scientists brought back to fill the black ops programs...part of that agreement was to allow the Nazi spy network to remain in place, still controlled by the Nazi's who went down to South America. You know, Argentina and Chile. So the Fed, through the Union bank, financed the Nazi's in WWII, with their front man, Prescott Bush, the father of George Bush Senior, and the grandfather of George Bush Junior.

There is a reason for that. I stopped smoking. Which is how I go from idle...and calm.... to a open third eye. I used to, like most sensitives, have a crutch to cut the intensity of the other dimensions from breaking in on me and this 'reality'. alcohol is one that is used, by some. I don't care for alcohol. I don't drink, at all.

In my case it is a very small quantity of smoke. Just enough to cut it down. I stopped that component. It takes me a bit of time to settle down.

It is in no way the only medium writing about Diaspora, you can find it in various alternative and underground media as well. Wheter one likes it or not, the NY Times is a more or less prestigious paper to the public, and that could well be the reason why it is presented at their site.

But enough about that. All I'm sayin is, if you find social media somehow important or handy or convenient or whatever, but don't like FB and the way they handle business (and don't even mention the privacy issues!),this is one thing you could be interested in, or would like to know more about. At least to me an open source-based site that has all the goodies of FB and lets you totally control what you share, how and to whom, sounds pretty interestin. Check it out, don't check it out, do what you want, don't do anything, I don't care. I see it as an interesting alternative.

Peace.

my right ear started ringing a bit earlier as I was looking at (searching for) photos of the speaker of the house as a young man and then as an older man,as he is now the US speaker of the House of Representatives. John Bohner.

I noted he seems to have developed the wandering eye problem...that is considered... by some...to come from observation and control(?) hardware inserted behind the eye...from the US Nazi Black ops programs.

I agree with you completely about it, Diaspora, being an 'interesting' alternative. As for alternative and underground sites carrying it also, I think Carmodys' post above has relevant information about the pervasiveness of our predators. There are very few areas of our lives not controlled or influenced by the Matrix . I do my best to make the inside of my head, and my spirit, one of the places they do not have access to.

Why would you delete your account in the first place, the only reason for that would be if you have something to hide.

Why would I care if the government is aware that I wished happy birthday to my friend?

If you don't want people to spy on you don't go on facebook in the first place, it's not called a social network for nothing

Not one word of the above is wild-eyed speculation. All of it is factual. In all seriousness.

I've been making the connections between all of the above and the far right, but noone seems to think it is viable. I admit it is all circumstantial but there's just so many circumstantial links that they outweigh everything else. Yet there seems to be a force at work trying to focus on what Charles said still being true. Eg; he's part of TPTB.

###

Meanwhile, back on topic: I heard the news report on an msm radio station talking about Facebook yesterday. According to them, 10,000 brits cancel their account each week but they put it down to boredom and the novelty wearing off. They say other sites like Twitter (which is a part of Facebook that got broken off and pretends to be separate) and it's just part of the natural decline of websites that come and go.

Either way, they can only use the information you give them. You can choose to not give them any real data and still use their platform to spread truth.

Carmody,

Your world sounds a lot like mine, the weird is becoming pervasive. That last eclipse really caused a bit of a snap, and I felt very strongly at that time that it was a cycle, a rotation of some sort. Then, this year I joined avalon, and lo and behold you are here speaking very well to what had been impinged upon my consciousness during the time of the eclipse, before I ever even looked at this forum.

Where does glass of the templar built gothic cathedrals tie in with the big picture? How do the ORMEs tie in with the stone?

Something is telling me that it would be good to drink lots of Kombucha before attempting the Paracelcus method.

Sorry, this is off topic. Having my own atmospheric and animal phenomena, and very much agreeing with modwiz's statement to Carmody, I just felt compelled. Everything ties together, apparently more and more. The argentine/inelia/charles strangeness struck me as well, and the plants are pervasive. None have bothered me too much but I've seen them bothering you guys misdirecting threads that might otherwise become quite interesting.

Thanks to L&G for the topic of this thread! I just deleted my account a few days ago after having some of the details brought to my attention. My question (in an attempt to swerve back on topic) is does anyone know a good, secure replacement for gmail? Google has been up to even funnier business than facebook, from what I hear.

Why would you delete your account in the first place, the only reason for that would be if you have something to hide.

Why would I care if the government is aware that I wished happy birthday to my friend?

If you don't want people to spy on you don't go on facebook in the first place, it's not called a social network for nothing

The challenge is always balanced.

If the challenge seems intimidating, realize your resources can, at the very least, equal it.

One must rise -to it.

Throughout any given battle, thrust and parry do equal each other in strength and motion.

Watch for the finishing moves. The game changers. Respond appropriately.

Hi ES,
Facebook is not just for social networking, that's just what you get out of it. All images you post actually become the property of the site...permanently. (meaning they can do whatever they like with them)...that may be important for younger folk...

And it's not about what you say to people that they're interested in (Happy birthday, etc.), it's more about knowing what you think and feel about things... because that is what will determine how you will react to any new policies, new legislation, etc that they introduce.

So it's not so much about having something to hide...it's rather more about protecting yourself.

[Fred Steeves]

Just for the heck of it, does anyone here really think that a massive psychological profile for each one of us at Avalon is not a done deal?

I contend that the major difference is that we are aware of this and share things about ourselves in full knowledge.


Cheers,
Fred

This is true but when we have evolved, and I believe it to be a homospiritous evolution, the whole "good Vs. evil" would be defunct..yes? I know there are great negative forces at work and to even speak out puts you on their radar, but when we do evolve it seems like those who have evolved would not have to worry about the negative energies any longer. I have been on this journey a long time and still have contradictive feelings on various subjects so know that I am here to learn and ask questions so that I might better understand.

I was just reading the above threads on my laptop when suddenly an eye popped up and said I was being watched. After that my internet went down and I couldn't get into anything. I logged back in on my desk top and all seems to be ok here. Freaks me out! Has anyone ever had this happen before and who is watching?????

[Nyce555]

I don't have facebook. I never signed up in the beginning, because I had myspace. When I deleted my myspace account, I never opened up a facebook account. I was concerned about the privacy of it back then. I have had people try to stalk me just based on what I had on my myspace account. It just started to get too scary and I ditched social networking sites like facebook and myspace. Rather be safe then sorry.

Is the communication exchange on this site immune from the PTB intelligence scanners? Is the whole Internet accessible?

Is it possible that some of their schemes may backfire and provide a resource that allows truth to be shared?

Aren't all of their efforts in vain in the long run?

It seems to me as people are raising their vibration, there is less fear and more empowerment. The attempts of the PTB are becoming like the wizard whose curtain was pulled by Toto and they are laughable in their attempts to deceive and control. They are fast becoming a JOKE. (Not to diminish those who have suffered their antics and retribution for revealing the truth.) While they are conducting maximum surveillance globally, they are arresting those who film them (now who's scared?) and they keep trying to hide themselves and their secrets. That doesn't work any longer.

[Deborah (ahamkara)]

While information on an individual may be of some importance (depending on the individual!), to me, it seems that Facebook is used to track and monitor trends of awareness and perception that may spontaneously be erupting in the population at large. This allows for a great deal of refinement of "the message" that will be delivered via mainstream media. It is NOT about who you wish a "Happy Birthday" to, rather it detects memes in the posts, topics and links. They are watching the herd.

[alxz]

I had my account disabled a while ago without login for Im sure about 6 months or so.. Now I wanted to create a new one because of my family Ive met for the first time 5 months ago on the other side of the world from where I am, Chile. For me, the only good facebook does is to let me stay in conctact with friends and family in Chile.

Well I have just cancelled my facebook account. Not before time! Anyway I was just fed up with people sending me hundreds of farm stupid stuff and the like. If me close friends want to send me pics of their newborn baby and stuff they know my email addy anyway.

About five minutes after I posted this THREAD my computer slowed down and began to behave as if a virues was imbedded. I immediately ran my anti-ware. And when i posted on the" who is behind Charles THREAD" yesterday and mentioned the Queen and posted a photo of her my computer crashed immediately. So yes it is safe to say, WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN.

The thing I do not like about FACEBOOK is the fact the every bit of info and photos belong to them forever. WTF. They can use this info or sell your photos if they desire to do so.

Just connect to your higher power and know you are protected from lower astral entities. One day they will come to understand this.

[Darla Ken Pearce]

No, I am not cancelling my Facebook account. That's silly and a useless gesture. Harold and Maud and their 5,000 photos of their Hawaiian vacation and Lily's graduation and trip to Europe are just what the system has ordered. Now add that factor by millions of the same BS worthless junk. In fact who mowed their lawns and planted gardens, it's all there in graphic detail. And what exactly do you have? Junk mail and Spam, useless nonsense of value to no one! But go ahead and tremble with fear. It's a choice.

This is a good example of the FEAR FACTOR at work again. Why not give them so much information they are drowning in it. Why do we care, the question in the end is this: what can they do with it? Nothing! It is the most boring information one could possibly amass. It's costs fortunes to maintain and analyze and no one can possible lay hands on anything useful there is so much of it.

It is tying the system up and it is so huge like some monster, it can't ACT AGAINST US AT ALL. It can only pick us off one by one. There are natural limits at work here. Make it swell larger with useless junk! Tax it, strain it, overload it MORE. That is the clear solution. Dig in and shovel more data their way until it comes out their gills. Hello? Can you hear me now?

Until you stop letting them pull your strings, they are winning. I, frankly do not care what they are doing, they have lost and the light has won. Let's start acting like it and not giving them any more power than they already have. What are they going to do EAT YOU! FEMA camps may come in handy for THEM!

If your focus is on them and their negative activities the law of attraction will draw this focus to you and it is only then when your vibration gets as low as theirs that you will be troubled by them at all. Keep your vibe as high as possible while we finish up here and create something much better. Look the other way and imagine good things instead. Pretend they are your own neighbors and friends who might possibly love you instead of cause you harm when push comes to shove.

Get realistic please! We will put them into prisons and hold them for trial and they won't even notice because they are busy sorting through old Safeway receipts seeing all you bought five years ago and trying to see patterns and make sense of it. Garbage in, garbage out.

They only have power if we give it to them. So take it away and incapacitate them with this kind of garbage and let me tell you ~ even your own friends really don't want to hear this stuff it's so useless and boring! Much love! xoxoxoxo

[DarMar]

I need to ask few questions to start thinking process it seems :)

What makes you think that facebook is different than any web site? ( including this one )
Not to related to this topic but i saw that one for TV and bad wibes ... what makes you think that computer is different than TV ( xcept that is more advanced :) )
Why to dance on notes they play?
They think they have all if they have access to some pics and useless friend chats?? so why dont we let them think that?

And i must say i agree with Darla 100%
It is very time to start focusing towards creative and love force and not to give negativity projection

Be what you really are, not what they try to teach us ;)

This is definitely a choice, TO BE OR NOT TO BE ON FACEBOOK. The reasons why you choose to stay and the reason why you choose to leave. Both have good and bad on either side of the arguement. My choice was to leave because they own everything. All photos, images, stories, poems etc. They can use them for whatever reason they choose. You signed the deal when you signed up. I do not give my permission for anyone to own things that belong to me. There are other privacy issues that I am not comfortable with.

I am going to look for alternatives. Some have been suggested here. As any choice you need to know all the pros and cons. Knowledge is power. Use is as you wish but be informed then check in as to how you feel about that. You may choose to stay, that is good as long as you know all the catch 22's that come with it. I do like many things about Facebook but for the reasons stated I chooce not to participate.

[Cjay]

I would assume all the wires were already tapped when I started wakeing up to some truths after Sept 11, 2001.
peace

All the wires ARE already tapped, and all the wireless. Everything is recorded. Everything.

- EDIT -

Whether you cancel Facebook or not is irrelevant. They will still record every other form of electronic communication you use. Perhaps the safest method is writing on a piece of paper, showing to someone, then eating it. Even the radio signals of very high-tech proprietary encrypted multi-frequency hopping gadgets are recorded. They might not be able to decode it immediately, but it IS recorded.

I really don't care any more. They are just low-life or no-life voyeurs. No matter what else happens, just don't let them chip you.

[Sloppyjoe]

I deleted my facebook weeks ago not really because of the privacy concern but because it's a complete waste of time and you should be finding friends/potential gf/bf's in person not online...the whole social networking thing is fine for people who keep in touch with people at a distance, but its terribly affecting our social skills. People conversate electronically nowadays, not personally.

Read it again. Please. I never said anything about worrying about myself, or adopting any poseur type stances of false bravado. I never joined facebook or any other social network, ever.

This, in order to protect those I know, even casually...from ever suffering any aspect of connection to me ---in any recorded format.

If I were to join facebook, I'd get an immediate 300-400 'friends' (all family and extended family) and upwards of a few thousand, if I tried. Probably more.

They don't have a model on how I connect myself and conduct myself in social networks and connection systems of such nature.

I've been very careful to never give them one.

So if i decided it was best for me to disappear, they'd have to rely on real detective work. which they are fast forgetting how to do.

unnerstan?

[Cjay]

I'm just saying, if they don't get you - or the people you care about - on Facebook, they will get them on email or the landline or mobile phone/SMS

Behind Facebook—A New World Order Agenda?

The social networking website Facebook launched February 2004 and rose to the number one social networking spot in competition with Myspace. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg (American Jewish) with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin (Brazilian Jewish), Dustin Moskovitz (American Jewish) and Chris Hughes. Facebook had 138.9 million monthly unique U.S. visitors in May 2011. And, over 50% of Americans have a Facebook Account. The next largest block of accounts are in Western Europe. As of January 2011 there are over 600 million Facebook users.

It doesn’t take much forethought to realize that there are countless privacy pitfalls in a world where a near-endless stream of personal bits is indiscriminately posted, indefinitely stored, and quietly collected and analyzed by marketers, identity thieves, and professional government snoops in America and abroad. The public controversies that have erupted to date—Facebook’s drastic terms of service changes and Google Buzz’s forced sharing of email contacts are only the first snares in a rapidly growing thicket of social networking privacy issues.

In 2007 the success story of Facebook spread across the blogosphere. A complex but riveting Big Brother-type conspiracy theory which links Facebook to the CIA and the US Department of Defense.

When a website, movie, news article, book, or any media element that excels and rises to a number one spot, you can be assured that there is illuminati/governmental influence and funding behind the success!

Controversial Changes on Facebook:

April 2011: Facebook quietly switches on facial recognition tech by default. Facebook has rolled out its facial recognition technology, but has switched the feature on by default without telling its users first. The Mark Zuckerberg-run company started using its facial recognition software in December last year for its Stateside users in a move to automatically provide tags for the photos uploaded by Facebook users.

November 6, 2007, Facebook launched Facebook Beacon, which was an ultimately failed attempt to advertise to friends of users using the knowledge of what purchases friends made.
May 2011: Facebook Beacon Returns… New & “Improved”
February 2009: Facebook Facebook’s New Terms Of Service: “We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever.”
December 2009: Privacy Group Files Complaint on Facebook Changes
May 2010: Facebook Rolls Back Some Key Privacy Changes
December 2010: Controversial Changes @ Facebook
January 2011: Facebook reverses controversial privacy changes
The voting system for Privacy Changes for Facebook

Writers for The Wall Street Journal found in 2010 that Facebook apps were transmitting identifying information to dozens of advertising and Internet tracking companies. The apps used an HTTP referrer which exposed the user’s identity and sometimes their friends’. Facebook said, “We have taken immediate action to disable all applications that violate our terms”

“Most Facebook users still don’t know how to set their privacy options safely, finding the whole system confusing. It’s even harder though to keep control when Facebook changes the settings without your knowledge.”

Facebook shouldn’t require its users to constantly check their privacy settings to see what the company has changed since their last visit to the site. The onus should not be on Facebook users having to ‘opt-out’ of the facial recognition feature, but instead on users having to ‘opt-in’. The tech works by scanning newly uploaded pics and then identifies faces from previously tagged photos already stored in Zuckerberg’s internet silo. Is Facebook eroding the online privacy of its users by stealth?

Facebook is CIA-Funded Data-Mining Project:

The prime question to ask is if Facebook is not being used for Intelligence agencies such as the CIA and Mossad? And, why is Chris Hughes on the guest list of the Bilderberg meeting of 2011? Do you really believe the boys from collage are not Zionists and tie themselves with the New World Order agenda considering the history of controversial changes that they were forced to withdraw and change because of public opinion.

Facebook.com has become a One World Global Database under the guise of “social networking” where deluded people put their most personal information OPENLY and VOLUNTARILY…forget using loyalty cards, they can be tracked directly

Facebook’s first round of venture capital funding ($500,000) came from former Paypal CEO Peter Thiel. Author of anti-multicultural tome ‘The Diversity Myth’, he is also on the board of radical conservative group VanguardPAC. The second round of funding into Facebook ($12.7 million) came from venture capital firm Accel Partners. Its manager James Breyer was formerly chairman of the National Venture Capital Association, and served on the board with Gilman Louie, CEO of In-Q-Tel, a venture capital firm established by the Central Intelligence Agency in 1999. One of the company’s key areas of expertise are in “data mining technologies”.

Breyer also served on the board of R&D firm BBN Technologies, which was one of those companies responsible for the rise of the internet. Dr Anita Jones joined the firm, which included Gilman Louie. She had also served on the In-Q-Tel’s board, and had been director of Defense Research and Engineering for the US Department of Defense. She was also an adviser to the Secretary of Defense and overseeing the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is responsible for high-tech, high-end development.

With facebook on GPS/smart phones, possibly someday you can Google a Facebook user, and it will tell you their exact precise location…possibly the CIA has this technology available to them now

Wikipedia’s IAO page says: “the IAO has the stated mission to gather as much information as possible about everyone, in a centralized location, for easy perusal by the United States government, including (though not limited to) internet activity, credit card purchase histories, airline ticket purchases, car rentals, medical records, educational transcripts, driver’s licenses, utility bills, tax returns, and any other available data.”. Not surprisingly, the backlash from civil libertarians led to a Congressional investigation into DARPA’s activity, the Information Awareness Office lost its funding.

It would be understandable to view Facebook as the IAO’s new mask considering there are 138 million users as of 2011. Parts of the IAO’s technology round-up included ‘human network analysis and behavior model building engines’, which Facebook’s massive volume of neatly-targeted data gathering indeed allows a convenient replacement.

The Progressional Change Privacy Policy on Facebook

Facebook has become a platform where you have no choice but to make certain information public, and this public information may be shared by Facebook with its partner websites and used to target ads.

Facebook Privacy Policy circa 2005:
No personal information that you submit to Thefacebook will be available to any user of the Web Site who does not belong to at least one of the groups specified by you in your privacy settings.

Facebook Privacy Policy circa 2006:
We understand you may not want everyone in the world to have the information you share on Facebook; that is why we give you control of your information. Our default privacy settings limit the information displayed in your profile to your school, your specified local area, and other reasonable community limitations that we tell you about.

Facebook Privacy Policy circa 2007:
Profile information you submit to Facebook will be available to users of Facebook who belong to at least one of the networks you allow to access the information through your privacy settings (e.g., school, geography, friends of friends). Your name, school name, and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results across the Facebook network unless you alter your privacy settings.

Facebook Privacy Policy circa November 2009:

Based on ConsumersReports.org on May 2011, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts violating the Facebook’s Terms

Facebook is designed to make it easy for you to share your information with anyone you want. You decide how much information you feel comfortable sharing on Facebook and you control how it is distributed through your privacy settings. You should review the default privacy settings and change them if necessary to reflect your preferences. You should also consider your settings whenever you share information.
Information set to “everyone” is publicly available information, may be accessed by everyone on the Internet (including people not logged into Facebook), is subject to indexing by third party search engines, may be associated with you outside of Facebook (such as when you visit other sites on the internet), and may be imported and exported by us and others without privacy limitations. The default privacy setting for certain types of information you post on Facebook is set to “everyone.” You can review and change the default settings in your privacy settings.

Facebook Privacy Policy circa December 2009:
Certain categories of information such as your name, profile photo, list of friends and pages you are a fan of, gender, geographic region, and networks you belong to are considered publicly available to everyone, including Facebook-enhanced applications, and therefore do not have privacy settings. You can, however, limit the ability of others to find this information through search using your search privacy settings.

Facebook Privacy Policy circa April 2010:
When you connect with an application or website it will have access to General Information about you. The term General Information includes your and your friends’ names, profile pictures, gender, user IDs, connections, and any content shared using the Everyone privacy setting. … The default privacy setting for certain types of information you post on Facebook is set to “everyone.” … Because it takes two to connect, your privacy settings only control who can see the connection on your profile page. If you are uncomfortable with the connection being publicly available, you should consider removing (or not making) the connection.

Facebook’s own Terms of use state, 2011:
“For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (“IP content”), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (“IP License”). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.”

Viewed together, the successive policies tell a clear story. Facebook originally earned its core base of users by offering them simple and powerful controls over their personal information. As Facebook grew larger and became more important, it could have chosen to maintain or improve those controls. Instead, it’s slowly but surely helped itself, and its advertising business partners and possibly intelligence agencies to more of its users’ information, while limiting the users’ options to control their own information.

It's so obvious to anyone with a braincell left, that modern technology and especially fb, twitter & co are spying on you.

Yet it simply helps a lot with connecting, sharing information and all that.

Use the good with the bad. Don't become a martyr. If I had to condemn everything, that was not made with the intent for the highest and good of all, I would live pretty poorly and isolated. I woke up quite a few people via fb and get a lot of interesting news from my friends as well.

Don't fall for "they gonna bring you to the FEMA camps, when you publish this and that on the internet" - Let them fly a kite! Go the whole 9 yards, we are the masses, we have the power, let them build paper planes with all the data that they have on us.

[Calz]

Despite all my warnings my wife is a facebook junkie.

She insists she has done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide.

I hope that those she includes in her photos are equally "inocent"?

This was made 3 months ago, but I just saw it today...

Information flows both ways. Awakened ones are pretty much transparent and living lives of integrity. Those that stoop to spying on others most likely have secrets of their own that they are trying to hide. When ALL Truth is revealed, who will feel good about the exposure?
The PTB are losing control due to the awakened and awakening masses. That's why people who are video taping police and government are receiving jail sentences. Those exposing their secrets and lies such as Wikileaks and Anonymous as well as countless whistleblowers and the millions of truth tellers raising and expanding awareness far outnumber and outpower the PTTTWP-Powers That Thought They WERE Powerful-past tense. So, they might be spying on the masses, but the masses are sharing truth through Facebook and uniting.

Truth and Integrity is the way of the new world. Transparency will be the way for all who wish to survive the vibrational shift. Don't forget...the wizard has already been exposed. He's still pretending..."Don't pay any attention to that man behind the curtain" as he bellows his orders without credibility.

Love and gratitude you've beat this one too death. Still, I have posted and rest my case and these other statistics have not changed my mind.

You know a niece of mine, Liz, a genius who graduated at 16 and found herself at college at this young age just quit Facebook. She's a musical genius and brilliant in some things beyond measure. Yet, loveandgratitude she fell for your arguments and paranoia.

Now we (and by this I mean myself and my family who are spread all over the U.S.) will not know what she's doing and for all intents and purposes ~ she has cut herself off from the rest of the family who has remained on Facebook sharing the good, bad and the ugly and we continue to share these things without interruption.

This morning, my little brother, Garth, for instance, talked about how sad he was a month after our Dad's death and how much he missed him. He is having a really bad day in Ohio having moved and made many changes within a very short while. And I was able to reach out and say a few kind words that I hope will help his heart in making this transition to life where our Dad lives in our hearts and is actually more easily available from his new dimension.

While I agree with your basic premise, your conclusion is dark and not worthy of your energy and efforts. Say all you want and you can keep feeding the negativity, separation, and duality for as long as you have breath. But in the end, it is this 3D construction that is unable to go beyond what you think you are seeing and in the end, you are feeding the beast and keeping it alive living on FEAR alone.

"Time to cancel your facebook account immediately" is an order that is not all that different than commanding us to spit out our personal details. It is another control issue that is taking up negative space on Avalon.

I will not participate nor will I end my Facebook account because I can see beyond these control issues and find something good there no matter what the original intent was for the dark. They have lost this battle and all the rest of them, too. Those who are able to move beyond these 3D limitations, I can tell you ~ are and will be ~ much happier living in a world that is a much more friendly place then where you have chosen to dwell. I don't choose to even "visit" there anymore. I will be missing my sweet niece Liz though. Too bad she agrees with you. She influenced her daughter, Carolyn, too. And Carolyn's daughter, Jordyn had a birthday yesterday, but no one in the family could wish her a Happy one because she's gone offline now. It's a loss to all of us.

And so it is.... I will continue to be there for my little brother or anyone else who is in distress ~ under my careful watch on Facebook, on Avalon, or on the Moon ~ no matter what....if you can create bad out of this, you're Merlin with a dark streak. You have created darkness where only light exists. Can you hear me now? Much love! xoxoxoxoox

Why would you delete your account in the first place, the only reason for that would be if you have something to hide.

Isn't that the reasonig behind why would you object to check points and wire tapping, if you have nothing to hide?

In a country like East Germany, the government would put you in jail or whatever, if they found out, that you are some kind of threat.

Nowadays, there are too much of us, they cannot lock us all up.

That's why I pretty much don't care about TPTB knowing things about me. I would even tell them in their face, cause their game is over!

Having information about dissidents doesn't help you much, when you find out, that the numbers of the dissidents are too big to handle.

Sure they will try to make the best out of what they have, that's the nature of the beast.

When it comes to being groped or have my stuff stolen from TSA or being objected to endless examinations by the police, that's another story.

What I'm saying is, you can have a camera in my head and everywhere, but when you try to boss me around, I'm at your throat. Sure, there is a connection, there's meant to be by the guys with the cameras, but once you reach a certain level, which we collectively do right now, I figure, the guys could actually learn something positive through watching us.

While I agree with your basic premise, your conclusion is dark and not worthy of your energy and efforts.

You nailed it. I won't quit facebook cause of fear. I stay there because I have none. I actually wanna be in their face, because we are beyond the point where individuals speaking out for love and truth are seperated and locked up, to reiterate that. I mean even if they would try, they could not lock up everyone. They better come up with something smarter than that, eventually they will grow and become loving, too.

[christian]

I repeat myself again, you are right on what facebook is being used for, yet..


About five minutes after I posted this THREAD my computer slowed down and began to behave as if a virues was imbedded. I immediately ran my anti-ware. And when i posted on the" who is behind Charles THREAD" yesterday and mentioned the Queen and posted a photo of her my computer crashed immediately. So yes it is safe to say, WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN.

You said "Just connect to your higher power and know you are protected from lower astral entities." How about programming your PC through intent, calling for the help of higher dimensional friends, to let your PC run stable and not being affected from such things. It's worth a try. For the highest and best good of all, as usual.


The thing I do not like about FACEBOOK is the fact the every bit of info and photos belong to them forever. WTF. They can use this info or sell your photos if they desire to do so.

From a higher vantage point, everyone can access every thought and emotion you ever had, you are meant to experience and all-that-is is meant to learn from that, does that bother you?

When a website, movie, news article, book, or any media element that excels and rises to a number one spot, you can be assured that there is illuminati/governmental influence and funding behind the success !

April 2011: Facebook quietly switches on facial recognition tech by default. Facebook has rolled out its facial recognition technology, but has switched the feature on by default without telling its users first. The Mark Zuckerberg-run company started using its facial recognition software in December last year for its stateside users in a move to automatically provide tags for the photos uploaded by Facebook users. Most Facebook users still don’t know how to set their privacy options safely, finding the whole system confusing. It’s even harder though to keep control when Facebook changes the settings without your knowledge.The prime question to ask is if Facebook is not being used for Intelligence agencies such as the CIA and Mossad ?

Zionists Control the Internet !

If you have wondered why Facebook, Twitter, Google, Dell, and Paypal dominate the internet, researching the founder and their Zionist relations may answer the question.

Mark Zuckerberg Facebook
Christopher Isaac “Biz” Stone co-founder of Twitter. Most sources give Jack Dorsey credit as the founder of Twitter, however Jack Dorsey is a co-founder.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, founders of Google
Google also owns “Blogger” and YouTube
Peter Thiel Founder of Paypal, and original founder for Facebook
Michael Saul Dell, founder of Dell
Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle
Phillipe Kahn, founder of Borland.
Steve Ballmer CEO of Microsoft.
Bill Gates is not Jewish, but he is of the 13 bloodlines of the Illuminati called the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha line (Winsor)
Robert Kevin Rose founder of Digg.com. Digg is rated among the 100 most popular sites on the web.
Scott Blum founded Buy.com
Rob Glaser found RealNetworks and Real Player

Everyone must make up their own minds about whether to use FACEBOOK or not. It is time for me to look for alternatives.

The thing that made me upset with facebook is they kept changing my security settings back to default every time I changed them to high security settings. Why would they do that.

In my area, where I live, we are trialing a LOCAL FACEBOOK. I will let you know how it goes. This article is to inform FACEBOOK users
to know what they are up to and do you agree. If you do, great no problem. But at least make an informed decision.

I'll see your farcebook issue and raise you a google.

So where do we go from there...??

For the paranoid check out 'onion routing' :tape2:

For the adventurous put the words bomb, taliban, mossad, MI6, and KGB along with the whitehouse gps co-ordinates in your signature line at the bottom of a weekly shopping list. Better still get it to go viral !! :cool:


From a higher vantage point, everyone can access every thought and emotion you ever had, you are meant to experience and all-that-is is meant to learn from that, does that bother you?
Umm yep... I've always thought masturbating was best done in private!!

Sorry couldn't resist:p

Read it again. Please. I never said anything about worrying about myself, or adopting any poseur type stances of false bravado. I never joined facebook or any other social network, ever.

This, in order to protect those I know, even casually...from ever suffering any aspect of connection to me ---in any recorded format.

If I were to join facebook, I'd get an immediate 300-400 'friends' (all family and extended family) and upwards of a few thousand, if I tried. Probably more.

They don't have a model on how I connect myself and conduct myself in social networks and connection systems of such nature.

I've been very careful to never give them one.

So if i decided it was best for me to disappear, they'd have to rely on real detective work. which they are fast forgetting how to do.

I'm similar though I do have a small, private cloaked Facebook account of which is next to impossible to find and the data of which is on it is using a syntax with different 'tilt' to my private lines' syntax set. As a general rule I have an increasing set of buffer zones which are installed in a fractal manner (nested layers within nested layers) in ESP land. I'm hardcore about who I allow to connect with me directly or merely peripherally with my avatar/projection so I am not at all worried about unwanted connections. They will simply be pinged away lest they wish to feel exquisitely strange.

The other issue I face is that of forms of semi-public exposure, what with music and all, so I must always keep any material other than the work itself 'titled' in such away that it does not allow for direct line-opening with me. The work itself is okay because it is of the same fabric that I am, and the same buffer zones apply. Those who 'get it' will find it, those who won't, won't.

I digress though. I used to have a fairly 'populated' Facebook account about two years ago and I watched with quiet vigilance the behaviors of others and how they all slowly altered themselves according to their interaction with each other online. I have witnessed many episodes of psychosis come into being because of the way the site has been structured to possess high potential for addiction. Since I am responsible for my end of all the lines I connect with and create, I ended up cutting out many people, never with regret, as blunt as it may appear. Some ended up 'engaging' me in forms of connectivity which were detrimental and I had to remedy by healing backwards in linear time, all around in non-linear time.

A good tech is to keep any possible patterns you may be modeled on ever evolving and shifting, and encase them within many layers each slightly tilted from the other. Fractal, but with an equation which is constantly programmed to modify itself indefinitely at the will of the operator of such functions. I do not wrong others ever, but if others even attempt to wrong me or my loved ones, associates and assets, and that is their intention, they are pinged away or given full on boot depending on threat severity.

A good way to disappear is to disappear right out in the open, still visible but undetectable by those who you would not wish to detect you.
