Miss AshleyJ Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Plain texted?!? Not encrypted!?! Zuckerberg & co. have blown it again... thank god it didn’t get outside the company, but all you need is one bad apple on the inside. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47653656
MrEsturk Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 One of those times when being something of an introvert that was never interested in services like Facebook worked to my advantage. Those I suppose in the specific case of Facebook it's been working to my advantage an awful lot recently?
Ernest Lemmingway Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Just another reason I avoid sociopathic media. ?
Antioch666 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I don't get facebook at all. When I was checking it daily, it was just women spamming photos of their children or food or cats/dogs. If I want pictures of those Ill just write cats/dogs in the google search engine and voila...... my computer burned down because of the insane amount of results! ?
Corsayr Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Try to remember the last time you heard a news story about Facebook that actually made you think better of the platform... I personally cannot remember back that far. It has been shitshow on top of classic shitshow with crap throwing monkeys as an opening act for as long as I can remember. ?

The only thing that I can recall is that a lot of artists started featuring their adults-only art there rather than on Tumblr. Since they also post to NewGrounds among other sites now as well, that isn't very good news for Twitter.

Well, there was the time they tried to help bring satellite internet access to rural areas in the developing world... until the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the satellite for the service aboard exploded on the launch pad. even when they try doing good it blows up in thier faces... that time quite literally...
Slorm Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 It's pretty well known what a sleaze-bag company Facebook is, so if people carry on using it they have only themselves to blame, I guess.
KoolHndLuke Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 So what's with all the log on wit Facebook and shit I run into everywhere? I have an account only because it seems mainstream nowadays and one of my college professors put it into the class to "discuss shit".
legendarytoyou Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Good thing I don't use Facebook very often save to talk occasionally to friends and family, I usually tell same people just call me or text me. Facebook is not an ideal platform if they're that belligerent with peoples private data.
NickNozownik Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Oh no, someone can log into their accounts and find out that there are real human beings who can make spaghetti and take shitty photos of themselves. Well fuck me in the fucking fuck.
Miss AshleyJ Posted March 23, 2019 Author Posted March 23, 2019 As someone who’s worked in IT, what scared the shit out of me was the fact it was saved in plain text format. One of the largest tech companies in the world can’t be bothered with something as nessisary in the modern world as encrypting? It’s 2019 and personal information security for your customers is a basic requirement, and they do that? Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to find some spackle. I’ve got a head shaped hole in my wall to fill.
myuhinny Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Good thing none of my info on facesmack is real so if they get it none of it will help them in anyways.
winny257 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 What is Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & CO? I have not visited my E-Mail address for over 2 years, me Interested it not and I do not need them. Stop, oh yes to the install from games on shitty gaming platforms, the I hate like hell!

Guest Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 I know too many people whose Facebook passwords and accounts has been hacked and stolen. Too sad. Mine was too when had it. Security on Facebook is poor and miserable.

I went to google why they're the target-of-the-week... https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2019/03/28/facebook-advertising-discriminatory-trump-administration-charges/3296995002/ Was there a news-show, an op-ed? Facebook said Hud wanted sensitive info on customers, they balked, and the shitstorm started....I don't know, but I'm thinking this has way more than passwords involved. If someone *bought* amazon, twitter and facebook at a discount, took over advertising, it would help some cause (maybe). In school I only remember it as being called shaking the tree, but that was referring to banks and the depression (or something)
Zoey McKenzie Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Screw Facebook. I'd delete my account, if I didn't need it to stay in touch with my friends. And plan events with them. ?
Guest Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 he pissed me off so much when he was summoned to appear in Congress ( I don't fully understand American politics,we're under the Westminster government here ) but that smug little shit needs some jail time Of course all the filthy companies that support him pretty much own the government and get all that useful data into their greedy hands,our Myhealth is yet another example of people just signing up without reading who can access your data,nobody seems to care, they all say privacy is dead,yeah well who do you think killed it ? Social media ? there's a contradiction in terms,half the problem is that people don't educate themselves to how shit works just plain apathy in this day and age,also what's wrong with making a phone call ?
RitualClarity Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 The thing is ... most people don't give a shit if someone tracks their actions on the internet.. what they search for etc. .. They care about it FUCKING BEING CONNECTED TO IT. That is the issue. Tracking info, demographics, trends all can be done without putting a fucking name to the info. If not.. a script can easily remove it before storing the data. They can make money to be profitable without being Internet Dicks.
