FACEBOOK!
Facebook is “free.” so they tell us.
But is it? Nope, they collect all kinds of info on us all and sell it to
the highest bidder, to give you a
“better browsing experience.” Translated to simple English, that
means they collect info on you so they can connect you with
advertisers based on your browsing habits. I block unwanted
intrusions where I can. Facebook constantly brings up past posts I
have made and encourage me to post them again. I rarely bother.
The posts are often very good, but I seldom want to re-run them.
I always deny Facebook as much “personal info” as I can, and
don’t post anything I do not wish to say publicly. I do not discuss
private matters and I almost NEVER post intentions or where I
plan to go, in ADVANCE.
Lately, I have noticed another scam. Maybe you see it too. I get
more than a dozen “Friend Suggestions” daily. It is not the same
as a “Friend Request.” A “request” comes from someone who
WANTS to be your friend. The “suggestions” come from
Facebook, who want to drive up your “friends list” for their own
personal gain. It has come to my attention that from time to time,
Facebook loses people and they will find all kinds of “clever”
ways to increase traffic. Most of these suggestions are
“friends offriends.” Some appear to be “trolls” that
have pages without posts.
They are often half-dressed “young” women (maybe cops)
soliciting the “greater fool.”
I would never pay Facebook for anything. They are too anxious to
sensor, claim their “standards” are violated, mislabel
commentary, facts and posts when it suits them.
There are other social media
much more advanced than Facebook, and often those who post
there have a higher level of intellect than found here! Some of
them charge, but such service is often worth it. It is always easy
to see who rules the roost, when you find out what you cannot
say, criticize or mention…. If they don’t like your source,
it is banned.
It does not matter WHERE the original source was published. You
CAN publish that, but not certain sites that quote the original
sources.
I also see phony “Friend Requests” from people I am already
“friends” with. They are mostly hackers. I just delete them.
Lately, they seem to have increased in number.
Let the “buyer” beware.
