Hysterical Message People Are Posting On Facebook
This -- or some version of it -- typically appears in one big blog of text, but I've paragraphed it up for reading ease and fun. Well, ease.
It's easy to do so everyone should do this for their friends to stop the end of any privacy on Facebook!WARNING!!! FACEBOOK HAS CHANGED THEIR PRIVACY SETTINGS ONCE MORE!!! DUE TO THE NEW "GRAPH APP" ANYONE ON FACEBOOK (INCLUDING OTHER COUNTRIES) CAN SEE YOUR PICTURES, LIKES, AND COMMENTS.
The next 2 weeks I will be posting this, and please once you have done it please post DONE! Those of you who do not keep my information from going out to the public, I will have to DELETE YOU! I want to stay PRIVATELY connected with you.
I post shots of my family that I don't want strangers to have access to!!! This happens when our friends click "like" or "comment"... automatically, their friends would see our posts too. Unfortunately, we cannot change this setting by ourselves because Facebook has configured it that way.
PLEASE place your mouse over my name above (DO NOT CLICK), a window will appear, now move the mouse on "FRIENDS" (also without clicking), then down to "Settings", click here and a list will appear. REMOVE the CHECK on "LIFE EVENTS."
By doing this, my activity among my friends and family will no longer become public. Now, copy and paste this on your wall. Once I see this posted on your page, I will do the same. THANK YOU
Facebook privacy settings should be considered "privacy" settings. That said, the notion that anybody is going to take some picture of your infant grandson's ass in the bathtub and put it on a porn site and that that photo will follow him forever...well, it's a little implausible.
I use Facebook to post links I've already posted here and to follow the work of various researchers I know. If I have information that I don't wish to have the world see -- like Gregg's photo, because he's more private than I am, and I respect that -- I don't post it. My friends know what he looks like. My parents have met him. Otherwise, a face with the name is really pretty unnecessary.
And I wonder why I don't have an FB account.

*Sigh* People and the Facebook hysteria. Seeing stuff like this really annoys me. Unless this person has all of their stuff set to "public" [at which point they should be smacked for being a dummy] no one but the friends they allow should be able to see it. The only time that I can see when a FB friend has liked or commented on something is when the third party whose content is being liked/commented on has it set to *public*. Never otherwise.

This has been going around for a few months now. I fell for it the first time.

Well, do this experiment for me:
Set Firefox to clear everything but cookies on Quit. Quit, restart your computer.
Open Firefox on a new window - not on your home page - you might want to change the home page to "blank".
Establish a new Facebook page. Call it, "Test 40568" or something.
See what FB suggests for friends.
When I opened a new page, FB suggested people I had only e-mailed from Thunderbird, having never looked them up on Facebook AND not found in any other application or file on my box. A dozen of them.
What do you get?

My husband told me not to put his picture on the internet. I didn't bother to tell him that his other relatives already did.

Fodder for more variations of the old cleaning-the-phone-lines joke. Hey, is your refrigerator running?
