   And be sure to give personnel your face book pass word when you apply for a job and they ask you for it.

   Today is Safer Internet Day

   
   "Safer Internet Day 2013 will be the tenth edition of the event, and will take place on Tuesday 5 February 2013. The theme for the day is ‘Online rights and responsibilities’, when we will encourage users to ‘Connect with respect’ “

   
   ”Connect with respect"…not here!

   
   Mind you, Facebook doesn’t quite treat you with respect either. Perhaps they should pay more attention to the message. Meanwhile, be careful what you put out there that can be attributed to you. It follows you. Everywhere. Just ask Gerald (who? meh, if he reads this he knows)

   Facebook is great if you have AdBlock in Chrome. Zero ads!

   Having been born in Feb 1946 I remember well a time when I was not being tracked by all knowing omnipresent technology and the feverish clowns hiding behind that technology. We were simply tracked by the adults in the neighborhood.

   @Kylie2112

   I use AdBlock and DoNotTrack and I run my browser in a sandbox. I show seven organizations attempting to track me here (five to seven is about average for any given site). If anyone thinks there is ANY privacy on the www, they are delusional. Google shows up the most.

    It isn’t just Facebook; YouTube has also been getting really insistent on trying to get me to use my real name- there’s no “opt out” option in the dialog boxes that come up, only a small “ask me later” link.
    Funny thing, though- the name I gave them isn’t my real one.

    Facebook: a resource for intelligence agencies and identity thieves. Just say no. If you absolutely must use it don’t give out any real information.

    Farcebook is a joke and a waste of time
    Twitter is for twits, think about it, it’s the root word
    I refuse to waste my time on farcebook, I spend enough here, I can’t imagine being any less productive.
    

    
    A quote I once heard is very apropos for these (anit) social network sites and even your free membership sites, If you aren’t the customer then YOU are the product being sold. Think about it, they can’t sell you physically so they mine all of your personal information and resell it, and resell it, and resell it. No privacy statement blocks them from this, even when you ARE the customer they still harvest your info. Wake up people, stop selling your most valuable asset for a few shiny baubles.

    Mikefive is right.
    .
    You think you have privacy? Go look at buying a product or service on your computer, then come back here and notice the ads. “How did they know I needed Hemorrhoid cream?”
