No, as I said, from the activity log you can find and delete posts you left elsewhere

Watched the first half of the Channel 4 sting on the bastards. Stitched them right up, several meetings with a Sri Lankan representing powerful people. Perfect hidden camera work and audio. In the third meeting they talked of dirty tricks, MI5 and MI6 agents and the Israelis. And Ukrainian prostitutes to compromise candidates.
Looks like they have broken State and Federal lay in the US and the EU and elsewhere. Facebook could be fucked, they knew of the data breaches 2 years ago and did nothing. That’s against the law in the US. Could be a RICO thing. Huge news this.

Monetising your personal data, of course. It was always about selling you to all comers, that's why I lied about everything and only like weird movies and other people's children. Try and make some money out of that shit, Zuckerberg.

Facebook's Zuckerberg admits mistakes over Cambridge Analytica
2 hours ago
22 March 2018
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has admitted that the social network "made mistakes" that led to millions of Facebook users having their data exploited by a political consultancy.

Cambridge Analytica is accused of improperly using the data on behalf of political clients.

In his first statement on the scandal, Mr Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post that a "breach of trust" had occurred.

He also pledged to make it far harder for apps to "harvest" user information.

The CEO said: "We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can't then we don't deserve to serve you.
"I started Facebook, and at the end of the day I'm responsible for what happens on our platform."

What is the row about?

In 2014, Facebook invited users to find out their personality type via a quiz developed by Cambridge University researcher Dr Aleksandr Kogan called This is Your Digital Life.

About 270,000 users' data was collected, but the app also collected some public data from users' friends.

Facebook has since changed the amount of data developers can gather in this way, but a whistleblower, Christopher Wylie, says the data of about 50 million people was harvested for Cambridge Analytica before the rules on user consent were tightened up.

Mr Wylie claims the data was sold to Cambridge Analytica - which has no connection with Cambridge University - which then used it to psychologically profile people and deliver pro-Trump material to them.

A history of lying. There's an NYTimes article today about how FB has failed miserably in basic crisis management, a near perfect case study of what not to do.

Eton trash at it again...

Eton mess? Elite UK private school’s most questionable students
Published time: 21 Mar, 2018 21:59

Eton College, alma mater to 19 prime ministers and a king-in-waiting, is one of the UK’s most elite private schools. However, its hallowed halls have produced some scandal-laden alumni – here's RT's guide to the most infamous.
Alexander Nix

The most recent Eton alumnus to find themselves in the headlines for the wrong reasons is Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix. The scandal-ridden data analytics company suspended Nix on Tuesday after undercover recordings revealed him allegedly discussing bribery and entrapment with a potential client.

Nix got nixed just before Channel 4 aired its exposé on the company on Tuesday. The report shows Nix claiming his company was responsible for securing Donald Trump’s election victory in 2016. An earlier report showed him telling reporters posing as a potential client that they could “send some girls around to the candidate's house" to get damaging information on a subject.
David Cameron

David Cameron’s legacy as UK prime minister includes the very memorable – and very embarrassing – moment when an incident from his college days emerged. The Eton alumnus reportedly carried out a sex act on a pig when at university in Oxford. According to a book by former Tory treasurer Lord Ashcroft, Cameron put his penis in a pig’s mouth as part of an initiation ritual to get in to an Oxford dining club. Another member of the club reportedly has a photograph of the incident.

However, a penchant for pigs is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of Cameron’s dismal legacy. Cameron was responsible for UK intervention in Libya in 2011 and, seven years later, the country remains a failed state with a slave market trade. The former PM also tripled university tuition fees at the start of his time in government, sparking protests across the country, and resigned in 2016 in the wake of the Brexit referendum result.
Boris Johnson

Although Bumbling Boris is foreign secretary, he is unlikely to be top of the list when it comes to Eton’s most diplomatic students. Johnson, a former mayor of London, has a long list of past gaffes under his belt, from writing a poem about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan masturbating and having sex with a goat, to referring to Africa as “that country.”

His more recent blunders include jeopardizing the release of British-Iranian Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, detained in Iran, by alleging she was training journalists in that country.
Simon Mann

Another Etonian is mercenary Simon Mann, who attempted a coup against the president of Equatorial Guinea in 2004. Mann’s company, Executive Outcomes, ran wars in Angola and Sierra Leone, while Sandline International, another company Mann worked for, suppressed rebellion in Papua New Guinea.

Mann also says the US asked him to give them a hand in starting the Iraq War. He told Vice a friend of “the American neocons” asked him to “come up with ideas to get the war kicked off.” “The first was to pick an Iraqi city away from Baghdad, go there with a rebel force made up of 6,000 Iraqi émigrés, take the city, then say, ‘Yah boo’ to Saddam. That would have forced him to come get us and be zapped on the road by the UK and US, or let the flag of rebellion spread,” Mann told Vice.
William Waldegrave

There’s certainly a theme among this set of Eton alumni. Former Conservative MP William Waldegrave, now Provost of Eton College, became embroiled in a scandal after it emerged he was involved in encouraging weapons sales to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, in contravention of sanctions in the 1980s.

The scandal broke after aerospace company Matrix Churchill went on trial for violating a government policy by selling arms to Iraq, but the trial fell apart after it emerged that the Government knew about the sales – and encouraged them. The Scott investigation into UK sales of arms to Iraq found that Cabinet ministers misled Parliament in 1989 and 1990 about the government’s policy.

This whole scandal is kind of funny to me.

Does it really come as a surprise that Facebook has been busted selling out its users? It's become the biggest social network ever and the value of the company has been astronomical. Did people think they were running thousands of servers around the world because Mark just wanted to help people share their lunch pictures and selfies?

It's ridiculous what they know about us. Google doesn't even compare. The funny part is that this is all voluntary. Nobody has to sign up to Facebook. We give them all sorts of info about us, and the permissions we give them are really insane, we are just used to giving all sorts of info to see which Game of Thrones character we look like, etc.

And call me crazy, but the liberals have always been so proud of tech giants like Facebook, etc. But then it's been uncovered that Russians put pro-Trump ads on Facebook, and now they have all turned on Facebook, LoL.

The media will stop at NOTHING to blame everyone and everything for Hillary's loss except themselves. They have been calling these Russians who simply signed up to Facebook and paid for ads "HACKERS." Really? Signing up to Facebook and putting in credit card details is considered hacking now? What they did was perfectly legal.

If anyone really thinks Facebook gives a fuck about you privacy, they need to get their head checked. Their whole business model revolves around sharing your most personal info to advertisers, and people are cool with it, but now that they seemed to have helped Trump, it's a public outcry.




P.S. Has anyone gone into their Twitter settings recently to see which companies/advertisers have paid for your data? It's pretty cool. It's kind of like Twitter giving you a receipt for your data they sold to 3rd parties, LoL.

They even tell you they collect OFFLINE info from you. Sounds legit, right?

Or check out your "interests from Twitter," where they let you know what you like, even if you don't know yourself.

Just wondering how they allowed themselves to be duped by Channel 4 and the allegedly connected Sri Lankan. If they have all these contacts in the intelligence services wouldn’t you be able to vet potential customers?
And can’t you sweep a room for cameras and hidden microphones?

And now they want Zuckerburg to testify about this in both the US and UK. Really? What is he supposed to say? Sorry but people are even stupider than I thought? As Mackevili said, it's all voluntary. I frankly don't understand why everyone's knickers are in a twist over this. Anyone who signs up for any of this social media crap can expect anyone and everyone to know all about them. I assume from the get go that any post, email, text etc to be public. Anyone who thinks otherwise should give their head a shake.

BTW keep on using Facebook. Use it more and more. I own shares up 800% until a few days ago. Let's get that back up shall we?
