Mark Zuckerberg Senate Hearing (Social Media Privacy)

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

If you have a Facebook account, and post personal information, you’re pretty much showing yourself to the whole world. As far as I’m concerned: you can’t have personal privacy on Facebook—there’s too many hackers out there.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

Don’t narrow your vision to just Facebook. Replace Facebook with INTERNET, CLOUD, SocialMedia. Facebook isn’t even the largest offender here of privacy violations. Zuckerburg is an easy target and certainly guilty but he’s not alone.

I tend to think people don’t have a right over what others do with their personal information, but that giving it out in unsecure ways in the first place is really the problem, and nobody controls that except yourself.

There is no such thing as privacy any more. You think what you read and say here can’t be traced back to you?

There is so much useless information on people that it can be used in the most creative of ways.

I for myself have a blank FB account with no friends on it, no picture and a fake name. I use this account for advertising on FB and Instagram for various companies.

face book is like the other google…

I only trust linux based stuff with source code available yet it probably is already too late.

Nowadays they use these to sell us stuff, soon they will monitor our ideas that we had 5 years ago and decide we need to have less rights because of political or personnal opinions…Cringy af.

On top of mistrust of collection on users behalf of personnal data :
People too dumb and giving it all for the sake of convenience, that are sold by companies via apps and used sold to other companies…

Trackers , cookies left and right, intrusive ads (thank you adblock !!)

Soon it will be social credit network : You have government, personnal and business services based on your “Political Correctness” level…

I love how they pull off those theatrics so make it look like they care.

Really? I knew all this stuff from the get go! Nothing is free! I’m off Facebook because of political censorship.

The same here brother !! I’ve a local gitlab running with a copy of all software that I use.
The only proprietary software that I use is windows and oracle, and yet, I run they in a separate environment and only for their purposes.
The good part about the free software community is because nobody trusts nobody, so everyone is checking the source code constantly !
Having your own local copy of the sources is also a good way to keep you from putting changes that you don’t agree with, or if you are willing to help, this is the half way that you can start to understand the process and submit some patches.

It take some time to get it done, but once is done, you feel the power that be the “owner” of what you are running, can change it at your will, don’t depend on anybody to fix the bugs, even on some more complicated layers (virtualization, etc…) you can handle yourself pretty well just by reading the code (qemu/libvirt for example has excellent docs & comments !).

People usually don’t think that windows is “evil” by default, well, I have to run it to analyse malware here in a VM, it runs automatically the code and I monitor the network usage & api calls, and I can say that very often, even doing the tweaks said by microsoft, I caught the VM contacting a “strange” microsoft server…

Apple is the very same thing, unfortunately. Government can just push harder in these companies to make them to leak user data to the fed, they can put agents working for these companies to do so. The only way to go is with free software, where no matter the s~~~ that people do, there will be a s~~~ storm in the chatrooms/mailing lists about it, and you can “smell” some of these changes from really far away when pulling the new code.
