how can i loose 5 pounds with small changes to lifestyle
We've been discussing privacy topic for years. There are tons of things could be done to prevent this situation . Starting with not clicking on idiotic Facebook tests. We did hundreds of researches of would people actually be interested in having privacy protection solutions, and the answer was no all of those times. For now I don't believe people are ready to trade comfort for privacy, as any security and privacy improvement would decrease comfort of information access. E.g. you kill cookies, you have to enter your credentials everywhere. What do you think?
They are predatory
Nope. My social’s probably all over the web along with most of the passwords I use. If someone wants into my boring life that much, they can see it. Also, the benefits of sharing my browser and general info far outweighs the cost in most cases. If I’m looking for privacy, I will clear cookies and IP mask, but that’s only when I think there’s pricing/offer games at play and I’m losing.
I don't care if that data is used in a straight forward way - showing me ads about stuff. It's the CA kind of shit and psychological experiments that FB did (still does ?) - with that information that concerns me. Specifically, for FB - I don't use it much anymore and considering deleting it completely. It made me unhappy, and I've found out that staying away from it keeps me focussed on stuff & people I actually care about.
If you give Facebook your data then it’s no longer private
Is box secure?
It’s kinda funny that a person from Kaspersky is asking this question...
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
What is so funny? All our company was accused of is being Russian and doing a good job in investigating state sponsored malware including NCA and FSB produced
Dont use Facebook. Just keep a diary and call it a day.
Wouldn't help, though :)
Rtyuip - of course that would help. Come on. You’re from a company that recently had not great press around security. You should know there’s a difference between data on a social network versus data in a diary. 🤣
Ban political assault ads! #marchforourminds
Just don't use Facebook. Facebook, or at least Zuckerberg, fundamentally does not believe in privacy. Zuckerberg believes in a world of full transparency and thinks no one should have anything to hide. That is not my view, I believe privacy is a fundamental right, so I don't use Facebook.
Not using Facebook wouldn't save your privacy. You should stop using Internet for that, or brutally manage every single access you grant to third parties, and that's bloody hard, believe me, I do it. We thought of creating an app to help people to manage privacy easier. We found no viable market for it.
I try and deny all those requests. Eliminating Facebook is relatively easy. What is harder is eliminating Google, which is pernicious because it's got access to my mobile phone data and thinks it's helping by syncing my info to the cloud. I have all syncing turned off and have said no to every Google privacy settings I could find (don't track my location, don't keep my search history, don't let my synced data) but I'm sure they are still keeping data on me even though I said no to literally everything. I use ad blockers including one built into my VPN (pia mace), and I browse through that VPN on every personal device including my phone. This is to try and kill tracking cookies and cross site scripts but I'm sure that some still manage to get me. However the biggest concerns to me are Facebook and Google because perhaps naively I think due to their scale as the largest repositories of private data that they will be the primary focus for evil actors trying to dox me (including, eg, US government agencies). While data about me may exist elsewhere it may not be as much of a focus
I read a bit about this, and I’m confused why people call this a breach. Isn’t this just Facebook’s third party oauth dev interface? In other words, users actually have to sign away the account voluntarily to X company, for that company to get access to certain permissions? This is no different than when you sign in to a third party website using your Facebook account, but that third party website betrayed the uses’ trust, right? If I understand this correctly, why is this Facebook’s fault, and not the user’s failure to be responsible with who they give access to their account to?
Absolutely. Every time when you're giving a permission to any third party there is disclaimer from Facebook, and you can even choose what information you share. I think it's a witch hunt.
It wasn't your fault, VIGY36. 😢
I've accepted that privacy is dead. I do turn on my vpn and go incognito when I'm jacking it just to make "them" earn it though.
Jacking it? 😂😂😂😂
I had an idea of creating an app that would imitate fake personality in order to mess up data sets collected outside. User would be able to choose imitation patterns across the board, eg you pick up to be an New Zealand farmer, so every piece of data you device give out there would imitate it like you're living in New Zealand, google a lot about agriculture, watch specific type of porn and etc...
