Attention anybody here using Facebook

Facebook is no longer safe after it was revealed that Facebook now has a feature where every single time you do a post all your personal information is there for all to see.

That includes family, friends, murderers, paedophiles hell anybody.

I suggest if you have a Facebook account you delete it immediately.

Are you going to post anything that confirms what you said?

As far as I'm concerned, there's an option where you can put that 'only friends' can see your info.

I'm not JLocke but nope, never watch the news, I'd need cable or whatever to do that. Is there an article or video anywhere about it?

You know, there is a little thing known as ctrl+c, ctrl+v. Just copy and past a link to this 'massively popular' story from any respected news site, and I'll let this thread live. Otherwise . . . Evil Smile

Can this thread now be about how the mass media melts people's brains and convinces them that they have a valid, expert opinion about something they haven't the foggiest about?

As no supporting evidence of the claim in the original post has been offered, and as the thread has now been hijacked anyway, I think it sits best in this section.

Neither have I. I don't like to put myself on display. And I'm not a social person either.

Attention anybody here on ProgArchives
ProgArchives is no longer safe ANYONE can log in and post absolutely anything stupid whatsoever there is no protection and this guys could be anybody. the worst thing is you can't get rid of them someone will always pop into the forums and post ANYTHING. I suggest if you have a ProgArchives account ignore such posts immediately.

It is my intention to be the last remaining person in Western Civilization to not have a Facebook account. Not because I think it's unsafe, but because I think it's stupid.

I'm a freakin misanthrope, what do I need with a social networking site?

Well, it will be difficult to you to be the last remaining person as I don't plan to have an account. Yeap, it's stupid and is a total waste of time... but it's worse now that is so unsafe...
