Violator Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Just got the notice apparently i was one of the people affected by this in canada thanks to somebody using "This is your digital life" Anybody else part of the leak? Also if you want to download your entire facebook profile which includes everything https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/04/09/facebook-to-notify-users-if-data-was-shared-with-cambridge-analytica.html Its a video at the bottom of the article. I do believe there is more to this facebook is out to make money and determing how to make more probably means doing worse stuff than this.

Tortorella's Rant Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Meanwhile the government illegally has been tracking your calls, emails, online history, and storing it since Moses wore short pants. Nobody cares. Facebook expectedly tracks your history but was used by a third entity for political purposes and everybody is pissed. Again, social warriors don't know how or where to direct their anger so of course nothing ever gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkingz Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I also do not put any information on Facebook that I would not otherwise share online. However, if Facebook is making money off of our personal information I do believe that each user should be receiving a portion of the profits since without this information the company would not be making money hand over fist like it is.

bishopshodan Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Never used it. Have no idea why its so attractive to so many, but people confuse me more and more these days. And, didn't they say what ever you put on Facebook is the property of Facebook? People should not be surprised at all with this and realise that, despite your ego, you can be manipulated. As Jim said, you are the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case how come the CEO is immune to prosecution whenever someone posts a sex vid of a girl without her permission? There was a instance of an underage girl who later killed herself because a vid got posted while she was incapacitated. How is facebook not liable for that? They hosted the images. All the millions this guy has made yet I bet thousands of people have killed themselves worldwide over something posted on facebook. It's sickening. Sorry to get dark here but these questions always come up whenever I hear or read about these stories, it happens all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to understand that they have given away all their rights using that service. You can blame facebook all you want but no one forced you to use it.

Federal laws trump user agreements though. If 'victim' has her privacy breached from a vid she had no knowledge of and didn't post it how is facebook not liable for that? At some point they hosted the images(deemed illegal by federal law), they shouldn't be off the hook for that. The bolded part implies I was a user at some point, I've never used it once.

I think facebook also has a reporting system to alert them to things that should be taken down. It would be like going after Telus for allowing people to scam you online.

I have a 'friend' that worked for a major telecommunications company back when dial-up was still a thing. A common scam at the time was for websites (usually adult oriented) to run a script that would turn off the user's speakers, disconnect their modem and dial a different number. That number would then incur large long-distance charges on the customer's account. The customer would then call the major telecommunications company to complain about the charges but in reality it was totally their own fault for not being careful online.
